We are not merely what they say we are.. What WE say we are

   Man.. if we really knew our history.. If we really knew that we came from Royalty!!!!! You all would not have this mindset. Some people say I'm too confident.. WELL, maybe you all are not confident enough! Because I know where I come from and I definitely know where I'm going -- Learn your past so that you may move on into your future with pride. Slavery is NOT your only history it is merely apart of it!!!! We were not the only race to be enslaved... Difference between us and for example the Jews is that they STICK TOGETHER... THEY UPLIFT EACH OTHER EACH & EVERY DAY. THEY KEEP THEIR CULTURE ALIVE. We need to do the same. Spending time with me you will not discuss skin complexion in my presence. You will not discuss hair texture in  my presence! You will not discuss anything that in any way shape or form proves to be derogatory to the Black and/or Spanish race. Yes! I am mixed and I will always represent more than just IMANI. You are more than just your name. You are here to represent all of your ancestors!
