Self-love in the black community
Black History Month is the time of year that we celebrate our history. People like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X or even recent heroes like Colin Kaepernick are recognized. Additionally, people’s participation in the Black Lives Matter Movement is highlighted, but there is still a problem in our community --— hatred of ourselves. Several decades ago we were taught to hate ourselves because of the color of our skin, the size of our lips and nose, and even our hair, which is still prevalent in present day America.
