Yes, Allison,
Only truth will set us free.
Well-researched history always have an upper hand. But culture changes every day!
Fashion is not for anyone in particular. Do what works for you.
When I attend Nigerian event is always people rolling their eyes on my outfit. Why? I I made changes and wore it differently. My mother and my grandmother did the same thing.
We can work hard to respect and support one another-- simple.
No matter who you are or what fashion you claimed, police still profile your Black son in NYC!
