Life is an everyday experience......one that can be a joyous one or AND for some an uphill battle. As humans we all
struggle every day is some facet; however the struggle of being an
African-American is one that is definitely unmatched. We not only have to deal
with the cultural expectations of thinking and speaking a certain way that fits
our own culture but also at times switching into a mold that fits into the
likeness and acceptance of that of which appeases towards White America. Us as African-Americans have to deal with on a daily basis dissolving and erasing the negative
stereotypes of our ethnicity all while many of those same stereotypes were
accused of be glorified an appropriated by White America. We endure and put up
with so much as Black Americans to protect and defend our identities, but are
we getting the time to unapologetically love ourselves for who we are and not what
society wants or believes us to be.
