REVELATION IS BETTER THAN EXPECTATION 

Many of us live their lives filled with fear, Fear of moving forward to the unknown. Moving towards something you don't know can be scary, it's unknown, it's unclear and you are just letting faith move you. It's been said that "Revelation is greater than Expectation". Being open to something new that excites you. Allowing yourself to trust and believe in the power of Faith and Destiny. The future can sometimes seem blury but if you move forward towards the light,greater is what awaits on the other side if you trust and believe.

The unknown is cold, it's dark, it's a painting of a thousand pieces of art in one,none clear or distinct but there's a picture waiting to be seen and understood in the midst of all the chaos. In life I believe there are two choices, the choice of allowing Faith to move you and knowing even if you fail or fall you can always get up and keep moving or the choice of allowing Fear to move you and be stuck and held back from anything that you want or desire.

The sad reality about Fear is that you are in constant conflict with yourself and always thinking of what could have been had I moved forward and freed myself,but time is of the essence for all of us and it moves and waits for no one,so it is important to value each and every second and move while it still allows you to.

BLACK CULTURE 

It's been said that through the years black culture has changed or as the cool kids put it "modernised" but who has it been modernised for? The youth of today or solely to fit western ways or society?.

My name is Asisipho Ndyamboti and this is my point of view. As years go by and our elders leave us we loose our main source of information and we forget our values that were instilled in us as kids and move with the wave of modernised black culture. It's a hint of both worlds  black individualism mixed with western approved ways of life. "We are left in a sort of no man's land, because we don't often see ourselves reflected in mainstream culture, nor in popular "

Black culture may have been born in black communities, or created by black  people. But when appropriated for commerce, there is a danger of mistaking "Black Culture" for actual cultural EXPERIENCE. That's where the myth begins, and it can devalue real human experiences. The black experience can sometimes be so concretely defined in the mainstream that it feels suffocating. The reality of being black is much more nuanced and fluid. Being black involves a process of moving through and adopting from many different cultures. To define what's authentically black is virtually impossible, as there are as many ways to be black as there are black people.

And that is really the genesis of any culture: Ultimately, it's created by individuals and communities with the courage to do something different and unexpected.

Like being themselves.
