From the heart of the Niger River, to the serene Murchison Falls in Uganda. Tales of masculine men walking through the Red Sea with their bare chests. I heard about the Sahara Desert, and its hotness. I heard about the Drums from West Africa, To the upbeat Swahili music in East Africa and the tales of Shaka Zulu. I heard about the war in Burundi. How blood was spilled just because of tribes. I heard about the judicial killings and turbulence in Kenya and Nigeria. I heard about racism, do Black lives really matter if we cant protect our own? Thanks to Nelson Mandela who fought to safe the black race. I heard about slave trade. How some colony of men felt safe enslaving the black race. I heard about the uproar in Libya. How kids handle guns like professi
I'm Ruth. I write to inspire to keep hope alive.
