Colonialism did not just conquer our lands—it disoriented our minds. The violence of colonization was not merely physical but epistemic: it rewrote our past, renamed our gods, ridiculed our tongues, and replaced our truths with borrowed lies.
But no external force is stronger than internal clarity.
Self-knowledge is not a luxury—it is resistance. To remember who we are, to speak in our native tongues, to celebrate our ancestral sciences and philosophies, is to wage an intellectual war against erasure. Every time we name ourselves, every time we teach our children the truth about our history, we are rebelling.
The African renaissance begins not in institutions, but in identity.
