All people - African, European, American - worry about being different. But I've learned that the traits we'd rush to get rid of are the very ones that others desire.

Awareness is very, very important because we're living in a world which is literally shrinking by the day. We are global citizens. So, for us not to be aware of what's happening to our neighbor is almost sad. Once you're aware, then you can decide what cause you want to dedicate your time to.
