They sold you a lie. The colonial story was always the same: "We found them naked. We civilized them."
But how is it that Africans have been weaving, stitching, dyeing, and adorning themselves in intricate traditional clothing for centuries—long before any European set foot on the continent?
Kente. Dashiki. Ankara. Adire. Bogolan. These weren't accidents. They were civilizations.
The lie wasn't about fabric. It was about humanity. They needed you to believe we were "uncivilized" so they could justify the taking.
Don't fall for it. We were never naked. We were never lost. We were never waiting to be saved.
