The Charge: The heart of a lion. The forefront of your pride, you recognize the animalistic nature of the terrain. You maneuver through the world to exchange a piece of yourself and share your greatest gift, your experiences.
“Pidgin English is the lingua franca, link language or language of commerce, spoken along the West African coast during the period of the Atlantic slave trade. British slave merchants and local African traders developed this language in the coastal areas in order to facilitate their commercial exchanges, but it quickly spread up the river systems into the West African interior because of its value as a trade language among Africans of different tribes. Later in its history, this useful trading language was adopted as a native language by new communities of Africans and mixed-race people living in coastal slave trading bases”. Pidgin English is now used amongst many African and Caribbean nations as a native form of communication.
