.Mereba wants people to 'put some respect' on the culture with her BlackHistoryMonth playlist
Billboard
."Growing up, there were times and certain environments where I was one of the only Black children there to represent my people as a whole." "It felt like February came and all heads turned toward me; [it was] a time for my culture to be 'celebrated,' but only one time," she continues."Once February was over, we were back to learning white history as the standard for what all other histories were born from. It took so much energy to unlearn."
The singer adds:"So when I’m asked to celebrate my culture specifically for the month of February, I’m still naturally cautious. But what I will say is that Black history has been born a billion times. Our contributions to the world reflect who we are as a people: vibrant, creative, resourceful, and limitless.
"I think almost everyone has heard a Black history fact that has surprised them, unaware that a Black person was responsible for something so useful in their lives. We are everywhere. Our spirit and footprint stretch all across the world. And our music is the magical heartbeat of it all. So, basically, put some respect on our name -- every month of every year."1. Stevie Wonder,"Higher Ground"is the prototype of Black liberation by way of music.
