Happy Africa day.”

I am SO PROUD to be African, to fully embrace our culture, our spirituality and most importantly start living authenticly and unapologetically. We are a strong, powerful, and resilient people. I pray today reminds us that we are & always will be stronger together 🙏🏾 #AfricaDay 🌍 pic.twitter.com/SpJoDx3Ycg
