Having that sense of self-identity, it gave me more of a sense of purpose and as well as a more of an understanding who I am and how to navigate the world around me.

I haven’t personally seen the Black Panther movie, but to me since it’s so popular it gives children a new role model to look up to and it just shows how we are growing as a nation and becoming more open to new ideas.

I don’t know, I’ve never watched it or know anything about it.

We have something as a community. Something positive verses the negative sigma that’s usually portray and different roles over the years. I think the success of it just gives us something else to be proud of.
