In this photograph, taken on the shores of Ouidah, a mother and son stand together with their backs turned to the camera, gazing out at the vast expanse of the ocean.

For Black people, this ancestral wisdom is a source of guidance and strength, a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we have the resilience to overcome and thrive.
