About this listen

They try to bleach the bloodline, but the Black will never leave.

Black culture is part of our latinidad! We move to the rhythms, speak in the cadences, season our food with the history itself. But when it comes to claiming our Blackness? We hesitate. We deny. We erase.

We’ve been taught to call ourselves Indio, trigueño, mestizo, anything but what we are. But no matter how much we run from it, history runs THROUGH us. The curls, the melanin, the ancestors. Still here!

The lie may be loud, but the truth is louder. Are you ready to hear it?
