This has been quite the month y’all. Never before have so many people across the globe stood together against injustice. It’s been incredible to see all colors, creeds and ages walk together and speak out against racism.
The word activism has been thrown around but what have you really done to ensure that your mark is left and that a change is actually made to the broken societal constructs that we find ourselves in?
Have you posted a black square on Instagram? Or have you signed a petition? Or maybe you have called or emailed your reps and senators? What has been your form of activism?
I encourage you to use your voice in the space that you find yourself in and don’t let up until a change has been made and history stops repeating itself.
I’m Binja, an African based healthcare IT consultant by day and an #Africancocktail at all times! Who is an #Africancocktail? Allow me to explain: I’m half Congolese (DRC) and half Kenyan (hella African) – that along with the fact that I’ve grown up in five countries on three continents has contributed to my being an amalgamation of cultures (or in my case a cocktail). Yes, I’m one of those ‘third culture kids’ who sounds British but speaks Swahili and French with an American accent. So yes folks – I’m an #Africancocktail!
