Caroline Manyapye, a South African executive based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, juxtaposed the benefits of colonization with the innate abilities and excellence of Black people, while she shared her personal stories layered with pain and resilience.

"I've got this view and this perception, that we are the most oppressed, simply because we are so powerful and simply because they  know our power. They know our power even if sometimes we don't see our power, they see it and they know it. Why would you just oppress something that you are not threatened by? - Caroline Manyapye
