I’ve been carrying a lot lately — for my family, my nonprofit, and my community. Living in an area with systemic racism, disconnection, and limited support has left me feeling drained, undervalued, and longing for real connection. I crave community, belonging, and love — but I also want us, as African Americans, to reclaim the power we’ve always had. This isn’t just my story; it’s about the struggle, resilience, and hope we all share.

Black history is more than a lesson—it's a lifeline. In a world that erases, distorts, and devalues Black identity, teaching our true history is an act of resistance. It reminds us that we are not what they say we are—we are powerful, brilliant, and worthy. From ancient African empires to present-day perseverance, Black history empowers us to unlearn the lies, reclaim our truth, and rise with purpose. It must be taught—not just in February, but every day.

The Black card isn’t just a joke or a game — it’s a symbol of survival, pride, and cultural protection. In a world that borrows from us but rarely respects us, the Black card reminds us that our culture is sacred, not for sale, and worth defending.
