Why Are You Concerned About Black America:

Because Black America is at a standstill when it comes to progress. Not saying it is our fault mostly, but we need to rise again and understand the genius and beauty in all of us. I know of our talent, our might, so I hope to shine mines when I'm amongst Black Americans. We have a lot of undiscovered and untapped beauty within. We must find this and stay strong as we live in this hostile country and changing world.
