Afro Quote by Mitta Xinindlu
““I hate it when Africans fail to simply celebrate our features, without reminding us of the traumas they carry. Instead of making a contrast to the past, just say, "your skin tone is beautiful. Your afro is beautiful. Your luscious full lips are beautiful". Don't remind us of what they meant to other races, thinking it will make us value ourselves more. No.””
