Kingdom culture, one race, one ethnicity… One of the most beautiful things for me to see in this world is the mixing and integration of people from different ethnic backgrounds and how we find ways to relate to one another even if we may not be able to speak the same language. Conversely, one of…

Love each other as brother and sister… In last week’s article, we found out that ethnicity and race have nothing to do with biology. In fact, the division of official ethnic groupings stems from systemic racism. However, just because ethnic groups are not based on DNA, does not mean to say that we do not…
