I AM TOO COOL FOR MY AFRICAN CULTURE OR MY AFRICAN CULTURE IS TOO COOL FOR ME?…

I apologize to my culture for it taking me this long to come around. I was just lost trying to belong or attach myself to a culture that I wasn’t cut from.
I am sorry your beauty was and is still by many, ignored, I am sorry I lost sight of you.

I believe many of us have practiced slavery, slavery of our culture, running away from our language like it’s a plague. We even call it “razz”, then we go around singing praises to ourselves every time we appear more western. We truly must be lost.
