I would like contribute my knowledege, wisdom and understanding concerning culture in the black world. I want to countinue the legacy of powerful proud and virtous african women. I believe that the only way to make the best stride foward is to know where you are coming from. Too many young folks are falling by the wayside because they have no knowledge or respect of their historic African past. The African homeland is a vast and beautiful place with 54 countries and thousands of languages and cultures which are impossible for one to relate to all or even one of those cultures when we have been separated from them for so many centuries. Yet in this day and age unknowingly we have retained many of the africanisms our fore fathers and mothers brought with them as slaves. However hard it is to relate, it is important that we know and accept that this is an important if not crucial part of our past. For if we deny our roots we deny ourselves and are forever lost in babylon without a language or a culture to connect with.
