First up, this story by @madeleinewhat
“In a scene where women generally play the role of eye candy, the Musas have faced their fair share of pushback. Most people simply aren’t used to seeing women playing music, and many assume that they can’t.” https://zora.medium.com/meet-the-women-smashing-mexicos-male-dominated-dj-scene-aac0eb765cad">https://zora.medium.com/meet-the-...

I loved this story by @CalebOkereke about how Quidditch is promoting gender equality and changing attitudes in Uganda.
“We are not going to look at football for girls, football for boys. We are now going to have Quidditch for all.” https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Africa/2020/0316/Quidditch-in-Uganda-On-this-pitch-women-and-men-are-equal">https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Afr...

Next up, @JSymmesCobb takes us to the Colombia-Venezuela border where the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis has sparked a conflict between indigenous tribes. It started with goats. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-colombia-wayuu-idUSKBN20Z108">https://www.reuters.com/article/u...
Also reporting from Colombia, @meganjanetsky takes us on the journey to track the country& #39;s melting glaciers.

This story is from a few week’s ago, but we all love @sanbenito, so it’s worth highlighting again. By @katelinthicum https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-02-28/bad-bunny-yo-hago-lo-que-me-da-la-gana-new-album">https://www.latimes.com/entertain...
