if you’re ever going through a feeling of low racial self esteem and are suffering from low confidence in your beauty, self hatred, etc because of it… educate yourself about your personal heritage, history and ancestral plights.

learning about the ancient african practices of spirituality, community, beauty, etc… and learning about systemic racism and how my people have continued to revolt has literally made me feel so powerful, gorgeous, and WORTHY. please learn your history. i’m begging you. you can read, watch documentaries, whatever you choose. i’ve personally learned via video essayists on youtube like f.d. signifier. his work has made me aware of authors like bell hooks, audre lorde, angela y. davis, etc. just try it. please.
