Sometimes ignorance about #Africa rears its ugly head, even when folks are trying to defend the continent. Had to reach out to this well-meaning fella with the membership stats of just *one* medical trade organization in Ghana. Good dude — he was apologetic, and promised to change the original post. This is why there's a need for Africans to begin telling our own stories. So I'm looking forward to today's launch of the #africaresponds initiative, and hearing what WE have to say about us. Africans and non-Africans, please follow @africaresponds to support. #ebola #ignorancekills
