#MondaMeditation #MorningStroll #BloomsInAfrica................... "It amuses her, always had, this disregard of Africans for flowers, the indifference of the abundantly blessed (or psychologically battered) - the chronic self-loathed who can't accept, even with evidence, that anything native to him, occurring in abundance, in excess, without effort, had value"- Taiye Selasi (Ghana Must Go) .... "Where Flowers Bloom so does Hope"- Lady Bird Johnson "Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul" - #MyBlackStarNation like much of Africa is at place where as Angela Merkel told the European Union that they must go it alone and find solutions for their own problems because the world has changed and the dependency on the usual allies/donors and usual way of thinking must change. What Must Go in Ghana and in most of Africa is our old ways of thinking embedded in irrational fears, superstition, religiosity, patriarchy, tribalism and classism. We have done ourselves and the future a disservice in our lack of forward thinking, progress and real change that we can believe in. It's time to face our uncomfortable truths and stop being citizens, a nation, and a continent of dream killers and recognize the value in each and every one of us in order to allow ourselves to reach full bloom! #FacingOurselvesInTheMirror #NoMoreDreamsDeferred #SelfDetermination #HonoringOurValue(s) #OurGlobalFusion (at Accra, Ghana)
