I came to NewsBreak during a period of deep grief. I was trying to get through the days and started posting without a plan or expectations. I didn’t know it would turn into anything. I didn’t know anyone would listen. But the content took off, and in the middle of trying to make sense of things, I found purpose. I never liked history in school. It bored me. I couldn’t connect to it. Now I understand why. We weren’t taught the full history or the real history. If I had been, I would’ve cared. What I’m learning now is uncomfortable, emotional, and heavy, but it’s also eye opening and necessary. I’m learning things I was never taught. Things I didn’t know happened. And once you learn, you can’t unknow it. This process has been good for me. Not easy, but good. I’m learning as I go, and I share what I learn. Not to divide. Not to provoke. Just to tell the truth and give people who want to understand a place to do that. Every time I post about slavery, civil rights, or historical truth, there’s pushback. I get called racist. I’m told I’m causing division or rehashing old news. Meanwhile, I’m just here learning and sharing, not attacking anyone. No one gets angry at historians or textbooks for teaching this history. But when I share what I’m learning, suddenly it’s a problem. That has never been my intention. I didn’t come here to fight. I came here to learn, to grow, and to share knowledge. This isn’t about color. It’s about truth and understanding. I didn’t expect to make an impact, but I did. And I’m going to keep going. I’ll keep learning out loud and sharing for those who want truth, not comfort.
