The last American slave ship docked illegally in Mobile, Alabama in 1860, carrying about 160 West African captives. Among them was Cudjo Lewis, who recognized how his birth culture might be erased while toiling in this new land.
So when he was freed, he purchased two acres and started a self-sufficient community of survivors of the last slave ship. Known to outsiders as Africatown, Lewis' neighborhood was modeled on his West African home, where extended families lived together, members conversed in their regional languages, and partook in traditions that might otherwise be lost to them in America.
Today, Africatown still exists and houses the descendants of the nation's last slave ship community.

This for the ones that’s in that transition space in life, where you’re clearly growing but not everyone understands what that exactly mean. Taste changing, not being around that much, “changing”, “switching up”, not being there for them more than yourself anymore
