The Afro-Asian Youth, Rising Above Challenges

“Race is the face of our identity. Race is the basis of our reality. Race is the foundation of

our humanity.” Pretty words are the prettiest lies.

Respect is offered by Hannah, Philippine Commission on Youth representative.

An aim for a modern world would require a modern technology, hence a modern

people requires a modern mindset.

The truth behind modernity is covered by the web, sealed and authenticated by media.

Fast speed internet over an empty breadbasket. Ultra pro camera over beggary. Would

it still be considered innovation if half of the population was left behind?

Obstacles may be hard, harsh and stubborn, keep in mind, obstacles leads to a finish

line. Jump, hump, walk, crawl and roll, the longer the suffering is, the bigger the prize is

offered.

Technology makes it easy, but a passion makes it earthly. People of Africa, abundance is

offered in your hand. Greater of the things is in your land. The goods and golds of

nature is above and below your feet. Take it to make it.

Productivity surpasses modernity, for equity is the aim of mobility.

Different paths but with the same goal. If modernity denied, make your bravery,

compassion and faith refuse the offer of giving up.

It is not the tool but the one who handles. It is not the material but the one who

processed. It is not the lacking but the sulking. It is the people and not the tackle.

Excuses are for those who lacks the reason of surviving. Success is earned, so do we.
