White Supremacy Is a Drug—And We’re All Addicted

White supremacy isn’t just a system—it’s a sedative. It numbs us to the truth of who we are, manipulates our stories, and keeps us walking through life in a daze.

In this powerful conversation between Freddie Taylor and Aisha Johnson on Sankofa Speaks, they break the trance.

Aisha doesn’t just tell her story—she reclaims it. From discovering the lies in our textbooks to launching a water project in rural Haiti, she maps out what it looks like to wake up and remember: we never came from slaves—we came from nations.

This is what happens when we detox from whitewashed narratives. We stop asking for permission. We start creating new stories.

💬 “White supremacy tells you that God moves you like a puppet. Our ancestors believed in co-creating with God.”
That hit deep.

Aisha challenges us to stop outsourcing our power and start authoring our own lives. And it begins with education—of ourselves, our children, and our communities.

That’s why tools like the Black History Flashcards and programs like the Sankofa Club exist—not just to teach facts, but to shift frameworks.

Because once you know who you are…
You can’t unknow it.
You won’t settle.
And you sure won’t stay asleep.
