We Must Create a culture that Upholds us rather than degrade us.

One of our greatest drawbacks as Africans is that we have allowed ourselves to be brainwashed. We are now importers of Western culture. Why can't we promote our own culture. Hollywood exists for no other reason than to market America. It's meant to make America a land of milk and honey. Ever wondered why everyone around the world wants to immigrate to America?

We have imported Western music. Our youngster men now sing as gangsters, promoting a gang culture. Our girls sing naked, promoting prostitution. African music, one that was sang by our forefathers, is no longer tolerated. Funny enough that authentic African music is more appreciated by foreigners than by fellow Africans.

In our music, movies and literature, we have to develop our soft power. The battle is no longer in the fields, but in our hearts and minds. We must create our own culture to fend of Western brainwashing, and thereafter, export our culture to show our true selves. Western culture has painted us in bad light.

Instead of Shakespeare, let's replace with Wole Soyinka or Chinua Achebe. Instead of reading New York Times, let's read Zambia Times or Sahara Reporters. Instead of listening to Beyonce or Rihanna let's listen to Miriam Makeba or Angelina Kidjo. Let's create a culture that uplifts our way of life rather than a culture that degrades us.
