I hear you, My NativeFriend! Our ancestors were born of many tribes too in Mother Africa. They’ve changed our name so many times it’s ludicrous.; Negro, Black American, and now African American.

Stripped of our culture and language it’s a wonder we know who we are at all. It’s difficult to relate to a country most of us have never been and Africans don’t necessarily relate to us either being born in America. 🤷🏽‍♀️
