American
PROJECT: I AM
I AM is a declaration for Americans
who are done being told who we are,
what we are,
and what we represent.
We are done being unrecognized,
labeled un-American and unpatriotic,
and forced to choose between who we are
OR being a proud American.
I AM is for the "other" Americans,
those of US who don't fit the brand
of America that Mainstream promotes
nation and worldwide.
The inauthentic, inaccurate, and false
representations of who we are,
our history, and our experiences
marginalize, dehumanize, and criminalize
fellow and future Americans
who don't "look" or "sound American" enough.
I AM recognizes ALL Americans who contribute
to the fabric and culture of America –
regardless of where you're from,
when you got here,
what you look like,
what language you speak,
how you identify,
or how you pray.
I AM celebrates America's diversity
as America's strength.
We are fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
husbands, wives, friends, and lovers.
We are freedom fighters, justice warriors,
underdogs, survivors, revolutionaries,
inventors, adventurers, innovators,
entrepreneurs, and visionaries.
We are makers, creators, and builders –
We built America.
I AM is for ALL Americans
who are proud of who and what we are -
Our culture is American Culture.
Our dream is the American Dream.
Our way is the American Way.
This is our country, this is our home.
I AM is Inclusively American Made.
I AM is YOU. I AM is US.
Welcome Home.
