" I AM BLACK
Not because I'm born in Africa but because Africa is born in me.
I'm black not because of choice nor decision but because it is my birth right
You see black is not just a skin color
Black is a survivor,black is a hard worker, black is a family man,black is the most kindest human being ,black is a pure soul filled with love,joy, happiness, compassion ,kindness, understanding of others, selflessness and humbleness
Black is not and should not be the person you are afraid of
Black is not and should not be the person you feel like making a mockery of everyday because of the color of their skin
Black is not and should not be treated like an outsider, like a stray dog with no home,no family ,no future and no hope.
Black is authenticity,black is my identity and being hopeful is our treasured ability. "
