If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value. Some of you still carry the wounds of being mistreated by parents or partners. I hope you know that not everyone is annoyed with you, not everyone is upset with you, not everyone is rooting for you to fail. Grant yourself the same kindness you give to others. Accept the responsibility of being yourself as you are, with all that is good and with all that is bad, with all that is beautiful and that which is not beautiful. In that acceptance a transcendence happens and one becomes free. #KASHEVILLAGE #ruralborn https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbQNRXDIyg/?igshid=1x421gcwhgzmk

#AfricanMan #ruralborn They do not know my story. They say I am just an African. They judge me before they get to know me. What they do not know is The pride I have in the blood that runs through my veins; The pride I have in my rich culture and the history of my people; The pride I have in my strong family ties and the deep connection to my community; The pride I have in the African music, African art, and African dance; The pride I have in my name and the meaning behind it. Just as my name has meaning, I too will live my life with meaning. So you think I am nothing? Don’t worry about what I am now, For what I will be, I am gradually becoming. I will raise my head high wherever I go Because of my African pride, And nobody will take that away from me. #THATOKASHE #Farmboy #TheGrooveMaster (at Centurion, Gauteng) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3aw1kDSoC/?igshid=7dyvpko75kag
