Makonnen Sankofa interviews MeShorn T. Floyd Daniels, author of "I Am Not Your Black, America!"

MeShorn Daniels challenges how racial identity—especially the label “Black”—has been constructed by dominant culture rather than by the people to whom it’s applied. He argues that these labels are often imposed, restrictive, and do not reflect the full humanity of those they purport to describe. His goal is to invite both self‑reflection and social change: to unlearn harmful labels and paradigms, and to relearn identity rooted in truth, purpose, and personal dignity.
