I Am...

I am from an Afrobeat/blues//folk/soulfunk/reggaeton mixtape that spins into the wee hours of the morning

I am from a Nigerian town where the small village meets the big city

I am from a strong, sturdy, house that has its cracks

I am from blackgirlmagic and black lives matter. 

I am from a “shit-hole” country – so our leader says – that no one cares about 

I am from Wakanda and Things Fall Apart; two worlds always colliding. 

I am from Africa, 

I am Africa.

I am from America

I am America
