In high school I learned all about the explorers who braved "wild Africa" , how they "discovered" lands and peoples. How outposts were built and used as resting stops. I feel The West is still treating Africa like a pit stop. So then we start having that mentality, and that's not right. I'm guilty of making my time alive a pit stop, de-valuing myself. I'm gonna get where I want to go, and I'm going to do it in my own skin and on our African soil.
