I want to go home(Africa)

          Every time I watch videos like the one above I can almost be brought to tears because it's my hearts desire to return home one day, I was born in the Turks and Caicos but I never felt like I belonged their for some reason, though, I can justify this feeling based on my personality being somewhat "shy". I just never felt at home, when my grandmother lost her house in a hurricane 6 years ago, the house that held all my childhood and teenage memories, I didn't even feel anything. That lost was like a reminder to me that, this place isn't my home. I have had people laugh at me, diss Africa and talk down on my dream but I know what I want, I want to be free, I want to go somewhere that will appreciate me and welcome me with open arms and I believe deeply in Africa being that destination.

I feel like I'm always playing catch up whenever I learn something new about Africa because of the European and American educational systems of my country. Stuff I should have been taught as a toddler/teenager I'm just learning as a 24 year old youth, I feel down sometimes because I can see clearly how the knowledge my mother pressured me  to attain as a child, is the same knowledge that's ruining peoples lives all around the world. I can't blame my mother, she was raised in the era of civil rights fights and drug abuse so it was hard to learn these things in her youth but me being her offspring, and, my slave great grand parents dream child, I plan to teach my children( if I ever have any ofcourse :-)..) and the generation after me the TRUTH!!!!

Be safe, be bless, be humble!!
