Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

I am a Black woman I grew up in and Trenton ,New Jersey and have lived in majority-Black American communities and attended majority-Black American schools my entire life. I�ve learned about the Black American experience from my mother, grandmother, aunts, uncles, and beyond since childhood. I have also had the opportunity to visit Africa. I enjoy the opportunity to learn about and meet people from other parts of the Black diaspora, but I often feel that my identity as a Descendant Of Slaves often gets both erased and appropriated by the greater American community. I feel like it�s my responsibility to show that people like me are just as smart, just as hardworking, and deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. I am a proud Black American and our experiences, cultures, and voices should be represented as much as everyone else�s.
