What about the rest of us Black people no happy black History Month to us? 😭

I just saw a similar comment under the post and honestly did not think anyone would care.

I emphasise Black American followers because this is their holiday and month. Just wanted to give Black Americans a shout out on their month since I know the significance of the month means so much due to the horrific history of African Americans and the continuous discrimination of all black people in America.

Of course I pray for all Black people but I wanted to focus on them as I would for my Black UK followers in October even if the feeling is mutual (not the correct term but lack of words rn).

Also I myself am not American, I'm Australian so I do feel a disconnect to the holiday since to me, February is just my birthday month, no other significance. And I imagine this is a shared feeling amongst Black people who didn't grow up with Black History Month.

Happy Black History Month to all my Black American followers! Praying on your prosperity, health, and peace. Not only for this month but for all the following. 🤎
