Did you know?<p><br/></p><p>In the 14th century, Mansa Musa I of Mali was not just a king, he was the richest man in recorded history. His wealth was so vast it’s still difficult to quantify today.</p><p><br/></p><p>In 1324, during his legendary pilgrimage to Mecca, Mansa Musa traveled with tens of thousands of people and caravans carrying hundreds of pounds of gold. As he passed through cities like Cairo and Medina, he was so generous with his gold that he caused massive inflation, disrupting local economies for over ten years.</p><p><br/></p><p>But Mansa Musa wasn’t just about wealth,he was about vision. Under his reign, Timbuktu rose as one of the world's foremost centers of learning, trade, and Islamic scholarship. He built grand mosques, established libraries, and attracted scholars, architects, and artists from across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.</p><p><br/></p><p>Mali, under Mansa Musa, was a beacon of African excellence, a thriving empire with diplomacy, education, and commerce at its core.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let this be a reminder: Africa's story isn't just one of survival—it's one of influence, innovation, and unimaginable power. ✊🏾</p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/africahistory">#AfricaHistory</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/mansamusa">#MansaMusa</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/blackexcellence">#BlackExcellence</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/proudlyafrican">#ProudlyAfrican</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/timbuktulegacy">#TimbuktuLegacy</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/africankings">#AfricanKings</a> <a class="tc-blue" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/ourhistoryourpride">#OurHistoryOurPride</a></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
