We Black Y'all! Bridging the Gap Between Africans and Black Americans

Black people are not a monolith. From Black Americans who were born in the States to Africans who came to the U.S. a few years ago, the Diaspora is incredibly diverse. Unfortunately, sometimes our differences create social distance between us, even though we share a fundamental thing in common: we're all Black.
