On the flip side many Black Americans are so busy caught up in their own drama that we don’t have time to take on anyone else’s plight. I know this may sound harsh but I think this happens to be part of the problem concerning relationships between Africans and Black Americans.

I am not going to lie, I am exhausted by the 'wahala' and trying to figure out the best way to spotlight the nation's woes and indicate my support for the people. Nevertheless, I hope and pray that something positive will happen and that things will get better or our Zimbabwean brothers and sisters, regardless of their skin color.
