Some Very Unique Things About Black People in the World

There is a lot to unpack when it comes to our blackness as African/Black people. Our skin complexion is not just an outward display of color; it is glory and potential the world has yet to truly understand. Let me show you some of these treasures.

All our physical senses are graciously active and more sensitive than any other race in the world—an essential feature in the early days of human evolution and survival.

Let’s start with the skin. Our skin is more sensitive than any other skin in the world. This is not theory. It has been verified over the years. We feel cold, warmth, touch, pain, and every nuance of physical stimuli in a deeper way. We also feel sex in a way no other race does. 

Perhaps this is why Black people enjoy intimacy more than any other people—the touch and love receptors on our skin bring feelings that are powerful, unforgettable, almost like something that acts as a drug, drawing you into sweet addiction. Our women also have high folate in their body, a compound that increases their fertility and conception rate. 

The power and grace within African people is far beyond what the human mind can fully explain.

And here is something to note: as Africans, no one should discover our strengths for us—we must discover them ourselves. We don’t need external scientists to define us; we have our own, and we will employ them.

Our noses are supersensitive—we can smell even the lowest odors from a distance. This ability was essential for survival in the early stages of human development, and it still runs in our DNA, passed from generation to generation.

Our taste buds are equally extraordinary. They respond intensely to all kinds of flavors. We feel beyond the five basic tastes. We can sense the exact levels of saltiness or sweetness, measuring degrees in our mouths. We can even differentiate layers within the same taste. 

These abilities are not ordinary; they are unique to Africans. This is also one of the reasons why we are so diverse in our food culture. Africa has some of the most diverse cuisines in the world, and our sense of taste and smell contributes to that.

Our eyes are remarkably active, both in the day and at night. Black people carry some of the strongest photoreceptors in the world. Our retinas can identify even the slightest nuances of color. Black women especially have an incredible ability to distinguish shades and unique colors unseen or unnoticed by others.

Our ears are another wonder. They are graciously active, capable of regulating and modulating sounds. We can hear the lowest whispers and the highest pitches. We can detect where a sound comes from, and we hear energy and emotion in ways others may not. 

This is why Black people feel music more deeply than any other race in the world. We sing, rap, hum, beatbox, and create rhythms that no other people can replicate—highly melodious, cultural, and spiritual. Music runs through us as grace.

Even beyond the five senses, Black people are unique. Our vomeronasal organ—an organ which detects pheromones essential for attraction, is keen. Our proprioceptors, mechanoreceptors, nociceptors, tactile receptors—all these receptors within the body—are extraordinarily heightened in us.

These abilities are not random. They are gifts. They are strengths meant to be discovered and used for the good of humanity. No race should think itself higher or more important than another. Every people has value, every people has glory.

The glory of Africa is what the world has never seen. But the world will see it—and marvel.

Beyond Readers: Why Writing a Book Changes Everything

Many people think writing a book is only about producing something for others to read. They see it as simply giving material to an audience, a product meant only to be consumed. 

But writing goes far deeper than that. At its core, writing a book is about capturing your thoughts, ideas, knowledge, and experiences in an organized form. It is about documenting your mind in a way you can always return to—a structured record that lives beyond fleeting conversations. 

Every time you put words on paper, you are shaping raw thoughts into organized ideas. That alone is powerful!

Even if you are not the reading type, or even if people around you may not pick up your book right away, the act of writing and organizing your thoughts on paper is already a breakthrough. It is a major achievement. 

And beyond that, there are other benefits: when you put down your ideas, stories, or lessons, you create something that anyone, at any time, can revisit in the exact same form. Instead of repeating yourself endlessly, your book speaks for you. It saves time, energy, and resources.

I have seen this hesitation many times, especially among Africans. When asked about writing a book, many respond with: “Who’s going to read my book?” But writing a book is not just about who will read it today. It is about ensuring your story, your wisdom, and your perspective are preserved. 

It is about documentation. And when your thoughts are written down, they are no longer trapped in your mind; they become accessible to the world, both now and in the future.

You must think beyond this present generation. Writing is not only for your peers—it is for humanity. Generations to come will be able to pick up your book and read your exact words. Writing gives your story timeless value. 

Once something is written, it cannot be erased or undone; it becomes part of history. And when your ideas are documented, that is one of the greatest gifts you can offer humanity.

Today, technology has made the process simpler than ever. If you don’t want to work with a professional writer—something I specialize in and have done for many people—you can still write your own book. 

You can use technology, even AI, to help. Of course, if not used wisely, AI-generated work can come across as generic or lack depth. That’s why professional support still matters. 

But the most important thing is this: document your story. Put your thoughts on paper. Whether written by hand, typed, or digitally assisted, your ideas deserve to be recorded.

A book has another special quality—it does not depend on technology. Videos, audios, and electronic files all require devices, electricity, or internet. A printed book, however, can be picked up anywhere, at any time, and read over and over again. 

And when published digitally, it gains even greater reach, accessible on phones and devices across the world. Whether in paper or electronic form, your words will carry your story to others and live on long after you are gone.

This is why writing a book is so vital. It preserves your ideas, spreads your message, and blesses humanity. Through your writing, you leave behind value that informs, inspires, and transforms others. That is the true power of a book.

Blueprint for Writing a Good Memoir

Writing a memoir is like opening a window into your soul and allowing others to breathe in your experiences, lessons, and emotions. It is not just a chronology of events; it is the weaving together of story and meaning. To help shape that process, this blueprint provides a clear and practical guide. If you take each step seriously, you will not only create a memoir worth reading—you will create a book that heals, teaches, and inspires.

 
1. Core Story & Message

Every memoir must have a central thread. This is the heartbeat of your story—the main journey you want to capture. Think of it as your compass; without it, you may drift into random details that confuse readers.

Ask yourself: If someone could sum up my life in one or two sentences, what would they say? For example: “My memoir is about how I rose from poverty and rejection to become a voice of hope for others.”

The second question makes it sharper: If my book could leave only one lesson behind, what would it be? Perhaps it’s that faith can carry you through your darkest valleys, or that resilience is born in the moments we want to give up.

To make it practical, choose three words that describe the spirit of your memoir. Words like bold, healing, inspiring will shape how you write, the stories you include, and even how readers feel as they turn the pages.

 
2. Key Life Moments (Turning Points)

Your memoir isn’t a diary—it is a story of transformation. That means you must identify the turning points, the moments that redirected your path. Write down 5–7 of them. These will often become the backbone of your chapters.

For example:

• The day your family moved to a new city.
• The death of a loved one that altered your view of life.
• A betrayal that shattered your trust.
• A spiritual awakening or moment of faith.
• The decision to pursue a dream against all odds.

These are not just events—they are doors through which your readers enter your inner world.

 
3. Crisis & Breakthrough

Every memoir needs tension. The hardest season of your life, the darkest day you remember, and what you thought or felt during that time bring your story to life. Be honest. Did you almost give up? Did you scream at God? Did you feel invisible? These raw details make your story human.

But don’t leave the reader there. Show them the breakthrough—what helped you rise again. Maybe it was a scripture that lit your spirit, a friend who refused to let you quit, or a decision you made in desperation that became your lifeline. Finally, capture the moment you knew you had changed. That moment is gold—it proves to the reader that pain can indeed become power.

 
4. People & Relationships

No one’s life story unfolds in isolation. People are the mirrors that shape us. Write about the person who most influenced you—maybe a grandmother who prayed for you, or a teacher who believed in you when no one else did.

Equally important are relationships that scarred you. Did someone reject you, abandon you, or abuse your trust? Share those stories too. The pain and the healing both matter.

Also reflect on loss. A parent’s death, a broken marriage, or the disappearance of a dream can echo for years. But then balance that with voices of hope—friends, mentors, or guides who walked with you.

To make it practical, try writing a letter to one person from your past. Whether it is forgiveness, gratitude, or grief, this exercise often brings clarity to your memoir’s emotional tone.

 
5. Themes & Threads

Themes are what tie your story together. Think of them as the invisible threads running through your chapters. Circle the ones that resonate: grief, identity, faith, resilience, purpose, or cultural struggles.

For example, if “identity” is a recurring theme, then even your stories about school, career, or love should highlight how they shaped or challenged your sense of self. Themes give coherence, ensuring your memoir is not just a series of episodes but a tapestry of meaning.

 

6. Setting & Context

A memoir without context feels rootless. Where you grew up, the culture you lived in, and the historical backdrop all matter. Describe your environment vividly—the smell of your grandmother’s kitchen, the dusty streets of your childhood town, the sound of church bells on Sunday mornings.

If your culture or history influenced your life decisions, highlight that. A story of widowhood in Africa, for example, carries different cultural weight than the same story in Europe. Place matters. Let readers feel where you come from.

 
7. Tone & Style

Tone determines how your readers experience you. Do you want them to feel inspired, comforted, provoked, or healed? Decide this early, because it shapes your voice.

If you want an intimate feel, write conversationally, as though speaking to a trusted friend. If you want to inspire, allow your tone to rise into bold, uplifting language. If you want to be raw, don’t shy away from showing pain in unpolished words.

Think of a memoir you admire—perhaps The Diary of Anne Frank (raw and reflective) or Educated by Tara Westover (inspiring and bold). Let these be guides for your own style.

 
8. Timeframe

You do not have to write your whole life story. Many powerful memoirs focus on a single decade, or even a single experience like illness, exile, or a career shift. Decide whether you want to tell it chronologically—from childhood to now—or thematically, weaving lessons and reflections around specific themes.

For example, if your central message is resilience, you might focus only on the years of struggle and recovery rather than the entirety of your life.

 
9. Chapter Map

Once you have clarity, sketch a flow of chapters. Don’t worry about perfection; this is a draft. Begin with childhood memories that introduce your environment, then highlight a moment of loss or awakening. Move toward struggles with identity, a breaking point, and finally the rise into healing or purpose. End with lessons for the reader, giving them a sense of closure and hope.

 
10. Closing Vision

Ask yourself: Why do I feel called to write this memoir? Maybe it is to heal, to leave a legacy, or to break silence on a taboo issue. That vision is your anchor.

Also, picture your readers at the end. What do you want them to whisper to themselves after closing your book? Perhaps: “If she could overcome, I can too.” Or: “Now I see my pain differently.”

And remember, even if only one person’s life changes because of your story, your memoir will have fulfilled its purpose.
