As a black adult do you have any advice for younger black people?
Keep your head up and focus on your people.
For our entire lives, whether to our faces or in the media we were always berated on. Always the butt of the joke, bottom of the pit. After all the fighting to get a voice, we have ended up using that voice against our own people rather then uniting and rising up together.
The ones who are praying on your downfall, are always your own people. Keep your chin up, being black in this world, is the most precious and gifted thing ever.
The eve gene, being the most diverse race, mother to all of humanity, our very bodies are connected to the earth. Look at the texture of your hair, like the leaves and roots of the earth. Africa has over 3,000 languages, traces of African American decent traces back before white colonialism.
Remember, you're one of a kind baby. Everyone can straighten up their hair and whiten their skin. But, who else can repliacte and rock dark skin and an afro?
The day we as black people, come together and stop hating on one another is the day we take back the riches that was rightfully ours.
Do your best to connect with your community, decolonise your mind, stop worshipping the white man's God. Look into your ancestors, connect with them, empathise with them, thank them. Because of their blessings and suffering you stand here today. Go back to the roots, connect with the motherland Africa. Learn to love your natural hair, your skin, your culture, your food, your language.
There's so much beauty to you, not many told me that when I was young. I want nothing but for this younger generation to thrive.
