On the 25 May 2020, the world witnessed the brutal and savage killing of George Flyod ("Big George") as a police offer in Minneapolis, USA, knelt on George's neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds, while George was handcuffed and held down by 2 other police offers. The police offer had his hands in his pocket while he smothered the life out of George even when he cried for his Mamma and repeatedly pleaded "I can't breathe"...Mamma.... I can't breathe"..... 
The outrage of George's death sparked a mass protest globally in every continent of the world and some demonstarators pulled down a slave master statue and threw into a canal in Bristol, UK. George's death has led to an outcry that says "Black Lives Matter". As black Africans, we continue to suffer from the prejudice of being black and we have had enough. We are not to be treated as animals and we are not to be killed as animals. Our Lives Matter. We should not experience hatred because of the colour of our skin. 
In this episode, we are joined by the Cultural Ties Podcast family of Black Africans as we delve deep into why our lives matter. We share our experiences being on the receiving end of racism and we speak up to encourage every Black person in any part of the world to know and believe that we are specially and fearfully created by God and we are bold, beautiful, blessed, intelligent, and equal to all human beings on planet earth. No race is superior - We are all Equal and must be treated equally in love and respect. Black Lives Matter!
