How Finding Community Abroad Enveloped Me in Black Joy
83 Shares
The joy the Black community instills in its members is nothing short of spiritual. As a US Citizen, my Blackness, at times, seems like a heavy burden. For years, no matter what ambition I held, I would hear voices echoing in my head that I needed to be twice as good to receive half of what a white person earned. Can you imagine how exhausting it can be to lead a productive life only to be reduced to a color, no matter what you do? But through travel, I ve been able to shed much of the angst. Thanks to the Black community, I ve gained the power to heal and grow into a person I become more proud of each day.
