I’m a first generation African American with Sierra Leonian roots. When I was younger, no, I wasn’t proud. I went to school with mostly AA children who would poke fun at my name and call me the infamous “African Booty Scratcher”. I remember one girl called “African” in a derogatory tone, as if that in itself was an insult. As if gotten older, I’ve noticed that many more AA ppl now want to get back in touch with their African roots and slowly I’ve become more proud of mine. I also Sometimes I wish I was one of the biggger countries, like Nigeria lol. It’s rare for me to run into fellow Sierra Leonians.
