We cannot write this for you, but we can give you ideas to help you do it for yourself.
First, I would talk about the fears that you would feel when first being taken and put on the ship. Surely you would wonder what was going to happen to you. You are being taken from the life you have known and put together with people who can't even talk to you. Then there are the white people -- maybe you've never seen one before. There are slae narratives that say slaves were worried that they would be killed and eaten.
Then you could talk about the terrible conditions on the slave ships. The slaves were made to lie in very small and crowded areas that were really disgusting because of people vomiting, having diarrhea, etc.
