No Limits

At times it seems that in my community so many define their lives in terms of limits instead of seeing life as limitless. For so many, it seems that blackness requires submission to a minimalist existence. That dreams and aspirations are beyond our scope and we are simply force to embrace survival as the main mode of our life. However, I want to see my people begin to live beyond systematically imposed limits that crush the seeds of hope that lead to fertile lives. We must break free from the chains of limitations the way our ancestors broke free from the chains on inferiority. It is when we begin to live without limits that our embrace of liberation will be truly realized.Blackness does not require that we shrink from the main stage of life and embrace a second class existence. We are entitled to become the epitome of greatness embodied by the sacrifice of our ancestors. Let's Get Free!
