Episode 3 - From Darkness To Light When It Comes To Your Identity.

In this episode, I’m gonna be talking about from darkness to light when it comes to identity in the black community in particular. There are many forms of black when it comes to color when it comes to being African or African descent. We’re the only culture that has many different complexions when it comes to beingAfrican descent. The reason I want to talk about this is because of the interview that the breakfast club did with Tyla when it comes to her being colored versus being black. And how she talked about in her culture that is South America that she is called colored and not black American, black Americans cannot accept the fact that she calls herself colored because of the history behind the word colored in the United States. and the reason I want to have this conversation because I really am tired of black Americans trying to define other people based upon the external part of themselves, versus the internal part of themselves. It makes absolutely no sense how people judge people based upon the external part of themselves and multiple different facets, I think people should be more judged based on their talent, who they are as a person, they’re creativity, their skills, experience, education, how they treat people, what they do for people, and what they have in common with a person. I am a woman in America, and I don’t call myself black. I call myself African-American based upon where I’m from, and my descendants. And in this episode, I’m gonna be discussing why I think it is absolutely ridiculous that people who are descendants of Africans choose to call themselves black instead of African-American. Why is Africans and African descent people? The only ones that have to call themselves a color, or the colored. But let’s have the conversation. But I know this is going to probably some feathers. But the conversation needs to be had.
