"I am not African because I was born in Africa, but because Africa was born in me."
— Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister and President of Ghana
Being African is a matter of spirit and heritage, not just geography or birthplace. There is a deep, intrinsic bond to the continent that stays with a person no matter where in the world they live, if they carry African descent within them.
There is a powerful unity. A shared destiny among all people of African descent.
Embrace yourself. Embrace your ancestors. Embrace your heritage. And watch your destiny align.
I will never forget the day I made the personal choice to walk the path dedicated to my African ancestors, and to all that they upheld and believed in.
Ever since that day, life has continued to reveal deep and powerful secrets of the universe, secrets that have changed me completely.
I am forever grateful to my ancestors for guiding me on this path. I am forever grateful to be chosen to assist others on their journey as well.
Every day is a new day, and I am grateful for each one.
