Onward & Blakward

A Blakward Perspective…

A Blakward Perspective is aimed to celebrate all things BLACK and individualize our parts of the Movement by highlighting the uniqueness of our Culture.


A passion for Cultural Empowerment

Welcome to A Blakward Perspective, my contribution to the Culture! Let me explain the meaning behind A Blakward Perspective. The suffix -ward means direction, so in terms of our Blackness, are we moving forward or backward? The question is subjective; hence, the perspective is individually yours, thus the direction IS literally the Movement! In terms of empowerment, we are a forever-evolving Culture with an unbridled uniqueness, so no matter what, we will ALWAYS continue to go #onward and, of course, stay #blakward while we do!
