“Black ppl I love you ..even though this world doesn’t”- by @callmesensei

“Africa is known to have a very rich culture. Black as the night is black, Black like the depths of Africa, Black is beautiful in every shades and sizes. We are strong, we don’t give up!, we are go-setters by nature. Black ladies are queens. Black women were created of brown sugar and warm honey, the sweetest thing to bless the earth, be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Appreciate who you are as Africans and Africa! herself.” by @texzone / Akintobi Akintayo
