Afrikan Heroes

At the beginning of 2021, I posed the following statement to my Instagram followers, "If you can't name more than three famous Black people before chattel slavery, then you've been miseducated." The reaction to that statement highlighted the fact that many of us don't know the history of Black people outside of the lens of oppression. This statement inspired me to create a series of posts on Instagram titled "Afrikan Heroes." For each day of February, I shared historical facts about a person of Afrikan descent whose contributions to their society helped shape the world we currently live in. The series was such a hit with my followers, I decided to turn it into an Ebook for digital download. Ladies and gentlemen, this is that Ebook.
