On this day, March 6th, 1957, Ghana, under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, made history as the first sub-Saharan African nation to gain independence from colonial rule. Nkrumah's powerful words, 'the African People are capable of managing their own affairs and Ghana our beloved country is free forever,' resonated across the continent, inspiring a wave of liberation. Today, we celebrate not just Ghana's freedom, but its pivotal role in the African independence movement. 🇬🇭 Photographed by @oshane.howard

The father-son team of Osei and Nadir Rubie has carved out a unique niche in the competitive New York real estate market by specializing in faith-based developments, which now represent over $600 million of their transaction portfolio.

Here’s a list of some Black-owned hair extension companies that provide natural, non-synthetic options: @rebundle.co

Books by Black authors are increasingly targeted i

Books by Black authors are increasingly targeted in removal campaigns across American schools and libraries. Works celebrating Black joy, identity, and historical truths are being systematically challenged and removed with minimal transparency or justification. These books are more than stories—they're cultural touchstones fostering empathy, representation, and understanding. For Black readers, seeing themselves reflected in literature is transformative; for all readers, these works provide essential perspectives. Recent censorship efforts show a disturbing pattern of targeting literature exploring racial justice and authentic Black experiences. This trend has reached Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, where entire collections face ideological scrutiny under problematic criteria. By supporting these banned books, we resist silencing Black voices and affirm literature's vital role in democracy. Article link in bio. #books
