Self-Love / Self-Validation

Creative Talk With Calvin Merci

I believe as Africans we need to learn the lesson of Self-Love / Self-Validation for who we are and all that we are capable of doing. We are not the starving children with fleas on us, we are not the black people with no hope and no future and most definitely we are not the “dark continent” We are: - Black coffee - Laduma of Maxhosa - Siya Beyile - Nomzamo Mbatha - Mme Esther Mahlangu - Lebohang Masango - Trevor Stuurman and many more These are just a few examples of individuals who have understood being in a place of self-validation and self -love to have enough confidence and courage to go out and tell the true and real African stories. 🔴⚡️
