A continent as complex and beautiful as Africa is often surrounded by myths, making it difficult for people to see it objectively. A common misconception is that many view the planet’s second-largest continent, composed of 54 countries, as a single country. These types of perceptions and misconceptions are perpetuated both in the media and in pop culture a sad example of this is when Donald Trump’s description of Haiti, El Salvador and some parts of Africa as “sh*thole countries” which sparked international outrage.A lot of times when people think of Africa they perceive it as death, disaster, disease and despair.
