Hi everyone! (Heyyy Auntie!)
I just finished watching
a screening of Black Panther and I feel so overcome with emotion in this
moment. I'm so excited to see so many beautiful
people who look like me portrayed as intelligent, strong, and powerful! I'm
proud to be black and polyglotonous. I am flooded with happiness that I can
finally see my mom, my dad, my aunts, my family, my friends, and myself in a
movie in their respective roles as warriors, culture keepers, protectors,
kings and queens. I feel like I've chosen the pill of knowledge to be able to
recognize that I've been bombarded with other cultures versions of beauty, but
not my own. In that, I am eternally grateful for the creation, execution, and
release of this amazing movie. Thank you for normalizing black excellence and
raising the bar that much higher; I'm ready to strive higher and achieve more
as a direct descendant of Wakanda; I am ready to put on my crown and lead the
nations.
