 About Me |
"People in the United States still have a 'Tarzan' movie view of Africa. That's because in the movies all you see are jungles and animals.....We [too] watch television and listen to the radio and go to dances and fall in love."
My all-time favorite singer, Miriam Makeba
"Don't cover up your nappy, be happy with your kinky." Digable Planets
"Beauty is imperfection. Imperfection is character. Character is individuality. Individuality is what you need to fall in love. And someone you can fall in love wiht has the truest beauty of all."
Luke Tennant
"People of conscience cannot stay silent."
Dr. Charles Jacob
"Beauty was created by the dance of the animated soul in the body." Julius Lester
"Love has an alphabet that i have never learned." Julius Lester
"You don't love a woman because she is beautiful; she is beautiful because you love her." Anon.
"So then, I encourage you to laugh, to think, to thrive." africhika
i am an aspiring human rights activist and international journalist. i'm deeply passionate about photography, anthropology, dance, music, fashion design, and journalism. I'm a poet, a thinker, a dancer, and a human being. Do you dream in color? i dream in love....Do you breathe in oxygen? i breathe in God...Do you hear music? I am music.....
