this road trip was incredible.
we were so isolated.. and traveling for hundreds of miles down a dirt road in an African desert in one of the most sparsely populated countries on Earth is not for the faint of heart when you aren't from anywhere near the area.
but ... so worth it.

We did not invite anyone to take our land.
We did not invite anyone to kill our people.

This is not [just] about sticking it up to #Trump. Or passports. Although it's very well that this is done by a strong African woman [ #TheDrumph can't both not stand as he can't understand it 🤣 🤣 😜]
It's far more about reclaiming 'face'. This is about colonial privileges thrown back. This is about #AfricanDignity. It is about the habit of walking around as king in another mans land.
As well as it is about exploiting the AfricanResources and claiming that back.
