New on TikTok: The Hard Truth About Mental Slavery That voice in your head telling you that you are not smart enough, not worthy of leading, that your community cannot build anything lasting. That is not your voice. That is the voice of the oppressor living rent free in your mind. Mental slavery is the internalization of oppression. Centuries of it. The psychological scar tissue left by slavery and colonialism whispering that Black people can only survive the moment, never build the future. That voice does not just create self-doubt. It actively sabotages your potential. And naming it is the first step to silencing it. Save this. Send it to someone who needs to hear that the voice lying to them is not their own. Full episode on The Garvey Classroom — link in bio What is mental slavery and how does it affect Black people today? Mental slavery is the internalization of centuries of oppression. It turns the voice of the colonizer into your own inner critic. It tells Black individuals they cannot lead, cannot build, cannot sustain. Garvey called it the greatest weapon used against Black people and spent his life fighting to dismantle it. How does internalized racism show up in Black youth across the diaspora? From London classrooms to Kingston streets to American suburbs, internalized racism sounds like self-doubt dressed as common sense. It tells young Black people to aim smaller, dream quieter, and settle for survival instead of building generational power. Naming it is the beginning of breaking it. Where can I learn more about mental slavery and how to break free from it? The Garvey Classroom at thegarveyclassroom.com confronts mental slavery directly through Garvey's teachings on mental emancipation, self-worth, and Black consciousness in the Unstoppable Heroes podcast and weekly essays. #MarcusGarvey #BlackHistory #BlackConsciousness #SelfWorth #MentalHealth
