Habari gain? Ujima. Translation: What’s the news? The Black community and our collective work and responsibility to one another. There is an odd expectation of Black people to stand up, be vocal, and jump on the front lines of every injustice that takes place around the world, and many oblige this request before being asked because empathy runs through our veins. The question is, are we spreading ourselves too thin and not pouring the same energy back into our own community? We have aligned ourselves with every disenfranchised group worldwide, and yes, there is strength in numbers, but is the Black community getting its fair share of equity and equality? As empathetic as we are to the marginalized groups around us, please remember that our community has a legacy of trauma that begins with the inception of America —and we must lean into one another to heal this trauma. The focus needs to be on supporting one another to build our financial wealth and institutions. We must focus on our community first and then extend our energies elsewhere to ensure that our energy is not spent when our community needs it. This is not a selfish thought. It’s self preservation.
