It’s so disgusting to always come across headlines of how painfully life’s being taken all over the world.

In close association of multiple murder cases, misunderstanding is yet a greater factor resulting into such matters.

Unresolved murder cases arising due to inability of law to effectively protect the citizens is so rampant.

A decade ago an African-American Philando Divall Castile got shot multiple times in I’ll assume for his dreadlocks.

And in a similar act of mindlessness, recently Uganda witnessed a media uproar due to mob justice imposed unto a national athletic champ Sydney Gongodyo.

There’s yet a false narrative that African society and the whole world at large should erase from their mind.

We’ve been made to believe that every locks in the head is a defiance to the societal norms.

Many people have been wrongfully exposed to injustices either because of their races or appearance worst of all having dreads exposes one so close to such inhumanity.

It’s so traumatic to wake up one day knowing that the whole society is against you due to your look.

One mystery that we must all come together to resolve is that how best our choices can be protected.
