When you were enslaved, how did you move past it?
I explained thatIwasn’t enslaved, my ancestors were.

But you said that “you” were brought there on a boat!!! You see how that’s confusing, no? Who was brought on a boat if it wasn’t you??

What I meant was I still have to live with what was done to my ancestors. Like my whole existence is rooted in that old trauma no matter how far from it I get. I speak English and live in the most powerful nation in the world because my people were stolen. It’s a weird luck but also a curse. Otherwise I’d probably still be in Zimbabwe or something. Idk where I’d be
