bringing this important conversation back into the light in honor of latinx heritage month because, it be your own people!!! anti-blackness within the latinx community needs to be combatted every 👏🏽 single 👏🏽 day. our culture is so steeped in anti-blackness from the language that’s used to the erasure of the millions of black latinx in media, entertainment and more. the movement for black lives is a global one that requires a life long commitment. it’s not too late to show up better for the black community within your own community. the same white supremacy that erases black latinx people from the conversation is the same sh*t that erases indigenous latinx people too. our struggles are cut from the same cloth. it’s violent, it’s rampant and it needs to be eradicated. shout out to all my fellow blatinx and indigenous centroamericanos. shout out to all my fellow kids of immigrants. i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors before me and i’ll be damned if i don’t do my part to help liberate every single piece of my humanity. 🖤🇬🇹
