| Beautiful African women |
There’s a stereotype of Africa in the West.
War. Disease. Famine.
It’s poverty porn. Emaciated, crying children with distended bellies surrounded by flies. Parents wading through massive piles of rubbish looking for things to sell.
We stamp an entire continent – millions and millions and millions of people – with pity. Africa has become nothing to western world but a byword for misery and hardship.
But it shouldn’t be.
That’s why a group of young Africans on Twitter have created the hashtag #TheAfricaTheMediaNeverShowsYou – a friendly reminder that yes, there is suffering in Africa, but there is also plenty of happiness, thriving, vibrant culture and natural beauty.
We’ve selected some of our the images that people have been posting across Africa.
