Beautiful AFRICA.

Do you know that no matter where you find the dark skin if you trace it back you will find that it has its root in Africa? Do you know we are the only race in this whole wide world created with this unique skin color? Do you know that our skin color is the only one that can hardly be 'chemically' created? Even those who chemically alter theirs to other colors eventually come back to the original. That is how powerful the African color is. All others are common, the African skin is the only unique and distinct type in the whole universe. This alone should make us proud and confident.

Interestingly the name Africa according to some historians is a gotten from the word 'Afru-ika' meaning the 'birthplace' or Motherland.

We were singled out to be unique and so is our collective destiny. Inspite of all that has happened to us and has been associated with us, our uniqueness and greatness will sprout again.
Let's do what we can to bring back the glory of the continent. Time to shun mediocrity and irresponsibility is now. We must own our mistakes, learn from them and rise.
Africa is great and beautiful and so are it's people.
Let's celebrate us.
God bless the Mother continent.

The Crisis of Identity.

When we went from placing value on what really matters to just external things humanity fell so hard and broke it's back.

Much more than failing economies, hunger, disease, widespread poverty is the crisis of the individual. The crisis of seeking validation, of feeling some sort of worth and value. That inner questioning and probing that requires an answer. Sadly many people do not have the answer to that inner question. They then turn to things, all kinds of external things and invite them to come in and answer that inner man. Unfortunately the externals can't do so. They lack the capacity to answer those questions and the individual in a bid to either answer or silence that question seeks more of these externals and at every point they keep saying No, we don't have the answers.
