See and Be Seen

So often...too often...we are flooded with an overwhelming amount of negativity regarding our race and our culture. Every single day the media tries to sell us an impossible, not to mention inaccurate, image of what and who we are as a people and of what we should aspire to. We are celebrated on designated holidays and months, recognized for how far we have come only to be ignored and mocked and hidden when the sun is no longer shining on our days. 

We are athletes, we are entertainers, we are educators, we are visionaries but we are so much more. We need to encourage the media to promote the positives in our homes and communities year round.

How can we do this? With social media, of course. Get off World Star, as it promotes every negative stereotype that's been created for us--people aren't laughing with us, they are laughing at us. Promote and support black-owned businesses and products, not in a way that puts down everyone else, but in a way that helps to raise them up to shine among the rest.

Chocolate Compass wants to search the world, find the positives, the inspirations, the Chocolate Successes out there and shine some light their way. We you help?
 
We, like any other human on this planet, just want to be seen, heard and respected for what we have to offer this world. It is up to us to see and be seen.

What do YOU have to offer?
