"When you're in a predominantly white area you have to hide your true self. We live in our own bubble. Sometimes we just want to break free and be unapologetically black. Being Black in Ann Arbor - here I unveil the black experience. RECUPERATE, RECHARGE MENTALLY, AND RE-BLOW YOUR BUBBLE... YOUR SHELL... OUR PROTECTION. THIS IS BEING BLACK IN...."

We have heard the story of our ancestors. We were told the story of our parents. This is our story, This is our experience! This is not history, this is right now!
