Amaka Imani Nkosazana

"Any idea of separation is bondage. True liberation of the mind is in non-differentiation. And in the pursuit of breaking free from all the shackles of such man-made bondages, science is the most effective tool we have till this date.

Philosophy without Science leads to nowhere. Only together they can construct a better world."
