Authors

Our authors are the thinkers and leaders redefining how the world understands the Global South. They bring together the rigor of scholars, the vision of innovators, the lived experience of diplomats and practitioners, and the cultural depth of storytellers who reclaim narrative sovereignty. Writing from across Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and the global diaspora, they illuminate the forces shaping our shared future — from governance and AI to identity, leadership, and global equity. United by a commitment to dignity, agency, and intellectual independence, they form a community where Southern perspectives are not peripheral contributions, but central forces shaping global discourse.
