Are Black People the True Children of the Gods? Unpacking the Erasure of African History and Spirituality

For centuries, Black people have been at the center of an ongoing struggle for identity, history, and divinity. While modern society often portrays African descendants as the marginalized, the lost, and the struggling, there exists a deeper, more profound question: Could Black people be the original children of the gods?

So, Who Oversees Your Lighting?

CommunitySo, Who Oversees Your Lighting?

By Gregoria Villafane

Not sure if I was indeed born to do great things or just exist in a world until my calling day – in hopes of a better life- but until then, who oversees my lighting? Here is the thing, most days I wake up with the intent of living a purposeful and happy life.

Then, why is it that I feel my light is always dimmed? Or better yet, why does one keep allowing others to oversee one’s lighting? I wake confident each day knowing that I can handle anything that the world throws my way.

Still yet, even when knowing my own capabilities, I allow others to control my thinking. Still yet, even when knowing my own abilities, I allow others to control my talents. Still yet, even when knowing my own passion, I allow others to control my hunger. Still yet, even when knowing my own fearlessness, I let others control my valor. Still yet, even when knowing my own boldness, I let others control my confidence.

Still yet, even when I recognize my own strength, I allow others to moderate my force. Still yet, even when I recognize my own intelligence, I allow others to moderate my brainpower. Still yet, even when I recognize my own uniqueness, I allow others to moderate my individuality. Still yet, even when I recognize my own values, I allow others to moderate my ideals.

Still yet, even when I recognize my own determination, I allow others to moderate my purpose.

So, while I figure this one out; how about I take control of overseeing my own lighting? Therefore, get your fingers off MY SWITCH!

So, who oversees your lighting?
