I just published my first note on [Substack Notes](https://substack.com/notes), and would love for you to join me there! While I'll still be using my main Substack account for longer-form pieces and essays, I'm excited about the opportunity to share more bite-sized content and behind-the-scenes glimpses with you on Notes. **Here’s one on Zengjiani’s visit to China:**

[Notes](http://substack.com/notes) is a new space on Substack for us to share links, short posts, quotes, photos, and more. I plan to use it for things that don’t fit in the newsletter, like work-in-progress or quick questions.

[Go to Notes](https://substack.com/notes)

Head to [substack.com/notes](https://substack.com/notes) or find the “Notes” tab in the [Substack app](https://substack.com/app/app-store-redirect). As a subscriber to African History Extra, you’ll automatically see my notes. Feel free to like, reply, or share them around!

You can also share notes of your own. I hope this becomes a space where every reader of African History Extra can share thoughts, ideas, and interesting quotes from the things we're reading on Substack and beyond.
