My roots are African. The birds I remember, the fruits I ate, the trees I climbed, they're African.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My African roots made me what I am today. They're the reason I exist at all.
Maybe if I go far enough back into my ancestry, I have African roots or something. I've got no idea.
Ever since I watched 'Roots,' I've dreamed of tracing my African ancestry and helping other people do the same.
My African heritage is a part of reggae music roots, and the concept is that the album, 'Revelation Part 1: The Root of Life' is a tribute to roots reggae music. The fruit is what blossoms into different colors and shades, but the root has to stand predominant.
My fondest hope is that 'Roots' may start black, white, brown, red, yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man, that would make me feel 90 feet tall.
I am proud of my black roots and of the black blood that runs in my veins.
People wonder why I love Africa so much. I say this is where I was born and raised. My roots are in Africa; that's were I developed.
The fans in Canada have been there since day one. They're the originals. When people say that's your roots, that's literally my roots. I've just cut this tree off and replanted it somewhere else and it started growing. But the roots are there.
I keep my feet on the ground because of my roots and the way I was raised.
Roots are not in landscape or a country, or a people, they are inside you.
