From a Afrolatin@ to all siblings who’s experience of Blackness
\nis marginalized in the main discourse around blackness:<\/p>\n
– i will give my best to see you, as the very particular person you are because of your particular experience<\/p>\n
– i will give my best to focus on your narrative about black experience instead of the US\/cis\/thin\/abled centred narrative<\/p>\n
– i will celebrate your problematic favs, because loving them is just as valuable as problematic favs from dominant positions in blackness<\/p>\n
– i will eat, cook and learn about your history, future visions, recipes and movies when ever I can<\/p>\n
– i will use your academic sources instead of the well-known mainstream sources when ever I can sneak it in<\/p>\n
– i will find out about cliches, cultural codes and stereotypes that are more specific to your specific black heritage or community, so we can laugh together, cry together and i can see your pain in all it’s layers<\/p>\n
– i am here to listen. tell me everything. YES youtube nights – yes wiki articles – yes family fotos, stories, members.<\/p>\n
