A Letter to Mother Africa

Dear Mother Africa, I write to you today not as a stranger, but as a daughter, aching from afar. My heart is heavy, Mama. The world feels like it’s cracking at the seams.

Black Nation Rising: Why It's Time to Build Our Own and Leave America Behind

We’ve contributed more than enough, now let’s reclaim what was always ours. Let’s speak truthfully. America has never loved Black people. Not in its founding documents. Not in its presidents. Not in its policies. This country was built on the backs of our ancestors, soaked in our blood, yet it has never made room for us at the table of power, prosperity, or peace. With the exception of Barack…

Ibrahim Traoré: The Black Messiah the West Feared Is Here

How Burkina Faso’s Young Leader Became the Living Threat to Western Exploitation—and the Beacon of Africa’s Sovereign Future In 1969, FBI Director J.

Misdirected Hate: Why Is Black America the Scapegoat for Your Insecurity?

Breaking Chains, Unmasking Hate There’s an undeniable force of hatred that some White people continue to direct toward Black people.

Stay Out the Kool-Aid: Why Black and African Affairs Don’t Need White Supervision

We didn’t ask for guidance, we asked to be left the hell alone. There’s an old saying in our community that goes, “You all up in the Kool-Aid, and don’t even know the flavor.“ And honestly, if there were ever a phrase that captures the spirit of what needs to be said today, it’s that one.
