Growing up as an individual of African drop or somebody from an underestimated local area, I've experienced encounters that have impacted my point of view on the world and how these encounters have formed me. UBUNTU, which is based on the African belief in the interconnectedness and mutual dependence of people, is one indigenous concept that deeply resonates with me. It is the first traditional education that has truly altered my worldview. Respect, generosity, and community are just a few of the UBUNTU values that have shaped my life and inspired me to constantly strive for peace and unity in my interactions with others. This conviction has empowered me to move toward the world with affection, care, and backing.
Additionally, political ideologies and movements like Black Lives Matter have significantly shaped my worldview. These movements have helped me understand that, despite the progress that black communities have made, we are still harmed by systemic injustices. As a young person, I realized how important it was to fight for equality and fairness so that future generations don't have to go through what I did.
