EDITOR's note
Chioma Phillips
This is our 5th Anniversary of Telling the True Afrikan Story. Thank you
for being with us along the way.
In this photo, our son is marching boldly forward, ahead of our tour
guide and me, leading the way down a path he and I have never walked
before. His dad is positioned ahead of all of us, capturing the moment in
a photo, but, believe me, even if his dad was walking along with us, the
young leader would be showing us the way. It makes perfect sense to us, WHERE WE SHARE
particularly in this season when the youth in Kenya led the charge to deal OUR THOUGHTS
with injustice in the country that has been shoved down our throats by
generations of leaders who have chosen to simply ignore the cries of the ON AFRICA
people.
We see in our son, and in Kenya’s sons and daughters, and those of +254 733 489470
Nigeria (EndSARS movement), and Algeria (Hirak) and Tunisia, Egypt
(the Arab Spring) and so many others fighting for Africa’s true liberty...
we see in them the hope for the security of Africa’s future. This regardless
of whatever evil scheming goes on behind the scenes to trigger or corrupt
their movements and whatever fears and abuses our generation and those
before ours endured with the intention of influencing their generations
through our complicity. There remains hope.
We must safeguard them to ensure it never dies. #letLovelead
