Lion Tales
There is an old African proverb that says, ”Until lions tell their tale, the story of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.” We will no longer accept false narratives about our people, our countries or our past AND future. It’s time for us to roar. Join us as we give it to you straight no chaser. We love Black people in ALL ways for ALL days. Our hope is that exposure to our true history and our contributions to this planet will help us move together as one people. With common hopes, dreams, blood and history, our community has everything we need to thrive. We invite those who are not part of the African Diaspora to do the work to learn our history, which is the foundation of ALL history. Africa, the cradle of civilization, has been neglected in education for too long. Let’s change that!
