After George Floyd’s death last year, I reached out to my fourth grade teacher to ask him why we weren’t taught much about Black history. He didn’t have much to say. But it’s a shame we didn’t learn more about events like the Ku Klux Klan meeting with the Black Panther Party that would have made for a fascinating discussion. So today’s brew aims to make us feel a bit smarter. We’ll share some history your school books might have skipped, offer a deep dive into Tajikistan, discover innovators in online education and dish on some chili recipes to take your home cooking to the next level.

2020 isn’t a year any one of us is likely to forget. The pandemic, lockdown, slowdown, layoffs….the bad news continued till the end of the year with reports of the virus mutating and becoming more transmissible.
However, in a year where COVID-19 dominated headlines, a few people made headlines for their talent, efforts, kindness, and more.
Centenarians and octogenarians like the 104-year-old ‘Miracle Mom’ and 85-year-old ‘Warrior Aaji’ proved that age is just a number. Meanwhile, a 14-year-old Indian-American girl has found a potential treatment for COVID-19.
There was also Neelakanta Bhanu Prakash who became the fastest human calculator, beating Shakuntala Devi, whose life story was filmed and screened on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video.

THE Orang Asli community can look forward to an educational hub that also caters to their social welfare and well-being, if Samuel Isaiah has his way.
Although the English language teacher from SK Runchang, Pahang, did not win the recently concluded Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2020, he remains dedicated to turning the dream of building the educational hub, into reality.
And, thanks to India’s Ranjitsinh Disale, who won the US$1mil (RM4.3mil) prize, Samuel – who is only the second Malaysian to be in the Top 10 list for the Global Teacher Prize since its inception in 2014 – is a step closer to seeing his plan come into fruition.
