If you turn the other cheek for white supremacy, you're a part of it. When are we gonna stand up for ourselves, ignoring anything in any type of way?
Why does being African sometimes carry a negative connotation? In this episode of 'Conscious Anonymous', MJ takes listeners on a journey through the intricacies of African identity. The discussion dives into how ancestry shapes self-perception and the everyday experiences of the African community. MJ doesn't shy away from tough topics, like the impact of historical events such as the invasion of ancient Kemet and the legacy of slavery.
But it's not all about the struggles; there's a celebration of the triumphs too.

MJ passionately argues for the importance of self-love and awareness in overcoming adversity. With thought-provoking questions like 'When are we gonna stand up for ourselves?' MJ challenges listeners to reflect on their own identities and heritage.
If you're curious about the beauty and complexity of African heritage, this episode is a must-listen.
