“Most people write me off when they see me. They do not know my story. They say I am just an African. They judge me before they get to know me. What they do not know is The pride I have in the blood that runs through my veins; The pride I have in my rich culture and the history of my people; The pride I have in my strong family ties and the deep connection to my community; The pride I have in the African music, African art, and African dance; The pride I have in my name and the meaning behind it. Just as my name has meaning, I too will live my life with meaning. So you think I am nothing? Don’t worry about what I am now, For what I will be, I am gradually becoming. I will raise my head high wherever I go Because of my African pride, And nobody will take that away from me.” African AmericanAfricaBlack WomenAfrican AmericansBlack Lives MatterBlack HistoryBlacknessAfrica QuotesAfrican American AuthorsAfricanAfrican AuthorsBlack History MonthAfrican QuotesBlack AmericaBlack GirlAfrican LiteratureNelson MandelaAfrican CultureBlack Girls RockAfrican WomenAfricansAfrican ContinentBlack QueenBlack WomanAfrican LeadersBlack Is BeautifulAfrican ProverbAfrican UnionBlack In AmericaBlack AmericansAfrican FictionAfrican PeopleAfrican LanguagesAfrican SayingAfrican WriterKwame NkrumahAfrican National CongressBlack LiteratureAfrica PeopleAfrican CitizensAfrican DevelopmentAfrican DictatorsAfrican Great LakesAfrican WomanDesmond TutuKofi AnnanAfrica LeadersAfrica Will ShakeAfrican BelievesAfrican DescentAfrican FreethinkerAfrican My MotherlandAfrican SocialismBlack Book AuthorBlack IntellectualsAfrica HouseAfrica S PredicamentAfrica S WealthAfrican CulturalAfrican Cup Of NationsAfrican Development BankAfrican Great HealerAfrican HealerAfrican JujuAfrican SafariAfrican Story TellingAfrican Traditional HealerAfricanaAfricana StudiesChina AchebeAfrica HerbalistAfrican VoodooBlack Literary Classics Book:Wealth for all Africans: How Every African Can Live the Life of Their Dreams Source: Wealth for all Africans: How Every African Can Live the Life of Their Dreams
