African Quote by Marimba Ani
“You're not an African because you're born in Africa. You're an African because Africa is born in you. It's in your genes… your DNA…your entire biological make up. Whether you like it or not, that's the way it is. However, if you were to embrace this truth with open arms…my, my, my…what a wonderful thing.”
