ELDERS WILDIN’
All due respect, but the generation above WILDING… I just heard a Jamaican guy in New York share the story of his parents’ separation.

AFRO-REVOLUTION
Forget all the times I said this sentence in vain. This time, we are truly really witnessing History! Gone are the days where they’d make fun of our accents; now they stand in line at the Gold Coast, awaiting their citizenship (*Cough Cough, if the line gets too long, try the other 53 nations that…
