The woman is wearing a purple shirt and green baggy clothes. She looks sad. I believe this was taken in 2022. It looks like the village is falling apart around her. This connects to the stereotypes I know because I have heard Africa is poor and this village looks poor from my perspective.]]> 2022-03-04 18:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/charding24/hmyel554yb9wrsm7/wish/2078465960 https://padlet.com/charding24/hmyel554yb9wrsm7/wish/2078467082 These 5 women are standing at the shore with their surfboards.
