Neema Githere: Choosing Self-Love Over Yale And The Algorithm
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Born in Kenya of Maasai and Kikuyu roots, Neema has faced the harsh realities of growing up in racist America and, at 21 is proudly living the life of her choosing. With her crown of Bantu hair knots and rainbow braids, she had the smarts to get into almost every ivy league school from a small town in Colorado, where she was feared and fetishized for her difference. She later had the bravery to drop out of Yale in favor of a life outside the systems that oppress her, upon realizing that she was unhappy in an elitist academia that is the very bastion of colonialism. Already living the happy ending, Neema is learning about radical love and transcendence from the ancient philosopher Rumi as a means of dealing with the pervasive triggers of systemic racism, traveling to every corner of the world, and is a curator at The Africa Center in NY, where she curates the portal program, ’an internet you can walk through’ that allow us to connect to people everywhere, free from digital algorithms.
“Not only is yale on stolen land but it is upheld by the labor of black people and by separating itself as an elite institution against the masses of people who lack access to these institutions. It became a lot for me to weigh in my head; how can I have this revolutionary heart and spirit and intention and still be so deeply entrenched in this institution that's trying to assimilate me into a place of "upwards class mobility" at the expense of my psychological health and cultural health.”

"Finding ways to not let that manifest bitterness in my heart."
Most powerful tool.
You can feel her richness as she speaks in the dynamic, beautiful environment she's created around her. I love that she wears clothing from her friends, who she keeps with her. That was profound to me.

Neema, if you're reading, thank you. I had never heard of "radical love" before, or its teaching that one should be in a constant state of prayer. I've had the same desire to hide from the world's bitterness so not to internalize it, and this approach -- although a little abstract -- deeply resonated with me. I'm not sure I'm as brave as you, to leave the for-profit institution that I know is damaging me and the world, but I hope that I can one day. What I would say for you is that you are clearly capable of succeeding by any definition of the term. Your courage is inspirational.
What a brilliant and beautiful mind and woman.

I’m really loving this Channel... all of these different fellow women and all of their beauty is so inspiring and helps bring hope to my heart! I love it and the fire it’s helping burn in My heart! Rage on beautiful fellow beings ❤️
I've been enriched by watching this.
I celebrate the wisdom this young woman possesses. I experienced gaslighting in the academic realm myself and decided to attend a different college, in part due to that. I am thankful for the choice I made young because some of the most amazing and beautiful people I know now, decades later, I met at this school. I was able to be more myself at this school. I wish this young woman all the best. I feel she her radiant light as I watch this.
Absolutely lovely spirit, individuality, courage and authenticity. Beautiful.
Wowowoww I loooove this woman. I love this channel and so I always watch one of your guys videos while I'm just sitting down and relaxing, and this video spoke to me and I love everything she had to say. She seems like such a grounded individual and very in touch with her soul and spirituality.very cool!

Radical love🙏🌈✌🏾💕🌍💫
It's the Cam'ron blanket for meeee 💜🥰🙌🏽
I really appreciate this. I would love more videos featuring women of color 💕
That is an amazing story. You should feel proud of your accomplishments, even in the face of others judgement of you. They are not you, and you do not need thier permission to enjoy your accomplishments! Also by just keeping focussed and moving forward you will change peoples minds about you when they see that they were wrong. There will always be some that you can never please, but then that is not your responsibility either. The experiences you have, and will be able to share with your family will be amazing!
Wow a lot of energy on SELF !
