The Modern Negro

"We find the Negro woman, figuratively struck in the face daily by contempt from the world about her. Within her soul, she knows little of peace and happiness. But through it all, she is courageously standing erect, developing within herself the moral strength to rise above and conquer false attitudes. She is maintaining her natural beauty and charm and improving her mind and oppurtunity, She is measuring up to the needs of her family, community and race, and radiating a hope throughout the land."-Elise Johnson McDougald

Contrary to Popular Belief Africa is Not a Monolith

“You don’t look African”

Considering Africa is a continent with 54 different countries and over 3000 different ethnic groups, it really shouldn’t surprise people that there is no one set look for an African. 

Afar people:

San people:

Amazigh people:

Oromo people:

Hausa people:

Masai people:

Edo people:

Wodaabe people:

These are just 8 of the over 3000 ethnic groups in Africa, and you can already see how beautiful and varied the people of Africa are.

THERE IS NO ONE AFRICAN “LOOK”.
