WE ARE BAOBABS

When a baobab tree is stripped of its fruit and foliage by elephants, birds, apes, men, and insects, it nevertheless resurges, restores its stock in season due to its nature. Mother Africa is the baobab tree. We are its excreted seeds, living in the Americas and in the Caribbean. Mother Africa will robustly recover, like the baobab tree, from the two devastating slave trade's theft of her best-loved fruit from the 800s until the 1800s to Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the islands of the sea.
