The African School

Piedmont Cotillions - Greensboro, NC and Surrounding Areas
27407

The African School began in February 2011. Workshops and events are held several times a year at different venues in the Greensboro/Triad area.

The African School works to create workshops and events that allow children, youth, and adults to experience African and African Diaspora culture and history in a fun and engaging way. Our method is to use the community to teach the community. During our first year we brought in artists, musicians, poets, community activists, and people from the Caribbean and Ghana to share their talents and culture with workshop participants.

“Africa is the jewelry store of the entire planet.” If you didn’t get this history lesson in school, here’s a brief explanation of how Europe colonized Africa and how their invasion shaped how the world saw/sees Africa and her people.

Self-esteem is the whole game.

Black Africans & Caribbeans often have high self-esteem but low confidence.
Black Americans? Often the reverse—high confidence, but low self-esteem.

Why? 400 years of slavery broke the spirit, not just the body.
We never healed.

If I don’t love me, I can’t love you.
If I don’t respect me, I won’t respect you.
If I don’t know my purpose, I’ll make your life hell.

We’ve got to heal to deal.
Because once we fix what’s inside, nobody can stop us.

Big thanks to @jeromedlove & @theblackmoneytree for having me on to talk all things Operation HOPE, financial literacy, and the mindset shift that separates the wealthy from everyone else.
