Whether at work, at home or in public, we have been trained to believe that who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are.

I'm an Afro-realist. I take what comes, and I do my best to affect what is unacceptable in society.

I am a mixture of idealist and realist.
