Before we hand our kids dreams of success…
Before we teach them how to chase a bag…
Before we send them out into a world that wasn’t built for them…
👉🏾 What’s the ONE lesson every Black household must teach, no matter what?
Let’s build a legacy they can stand on—not one they have to recover from.
Comment below. ✊🏾

📢 What would a modern Marcus Garvey movement look like today?
Would we have: 🚢 Ships or Apps?
🌍 One united Africa—or a digital diaspora?
🏢 Black banks or blockchain?
🎓 Schools or Sankofa Circles?
🧠 Mindset shifts or passport stamps?
Garvey didn’t just talk Pan-Africanism—he organized it.
So what does our generation’s UNIA look like?
Is it a tech-enabled, Africa-connected, ownership-driven movement of builders, not beggars?
Let’s talk about it.

If your great-grandmother was standing behind you right now…
What would she side-eye you for accepting?
What would your grandfather say about your silence, your comfort, your compromise?
Today’s UI Question hits different:
👉🏾 What would the ancestors be disappointed we’re tolerating today?
Let’s talk about it. With love, with fire, with truth.

Land we didn’t own.
Laws we didn’t write.
Power we never controlled.
So… are we really free?
Let’s talk about it. 👇🏾
