It’s Time You Celebrated What Makes You Uniquely You
God intended for our differences to be celebrated. While we as Black people share the experience of being “Black,” each of us is unique. Our differences have always been meant to be celebrated, championed, and stood up for.

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” – Galatians 3:28.
Charles Lenox Remond was frustrated that most of the voices discussing anti-slavery legislation were white. Throughout the 1830s, Remond was usually one of only a handful of Black speakers on the abolitionist lecture circuit.
In 1840 he was the only Black delegate to the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London. He lectured about abolition and called out the convention for refusing to elect any women delegates.
Upon returning from the convention, Remond served as secretary of the American Antislavery Society, and as vice president of the New England Anti-slavery Society.
He declined a committee nomination from the New England Convention of Colored Citizens in Boston, saying women should hold leadership roles. He even influenced the Negro National Convention to support Black churchgoers leaving churches that discriminated against them.
Anti-Blackness shames “difference.” Leaders like Remond remind us to freely embrace our intersectional identities.
Whenever we accept a position of power, it’s our responsibility to advocate for ourselves and each other.
