#JeanMonnetDIMES@UACES critical discussion on Afro-Euro scholarly relations and decolonizing European studies curricula w/ @AincreE@csn_chris & Bacha Kebede Debela
People want to “dismantle imperial and colonial power structures”, but don’t step beyond their national struggle to see how these same structures maintain human suffering globally. If your solidarity does not extend beyond your nation’s borders it is not real solidarity.
Releasing my first book of poetry! 🥰
The book is titled 'Mind What You Tell Your Daughter'. It tackles, race, class, and gender in cultural narratives around Black women.
Training young girls to keep their dating life hidden from family unless it's "the one" grooms many young women (18-23) into pursuing hyper serious and committed relationships at such a young age.
black girls are told to avoid sex their whole lives, while also being assault victims at a very young age by men they know, while also being sexualized by the entire society. Then when they’re older y’all tell em the sex they have is an energy transfer that can affect their soul
A tip: if you have no idea how to pronounce someone’s name don’t make it weird or corny or xenophobic by implying that their name is hard to say or that you’re puzzled or even laugh about it.
Just say, “Can you say your name for me? I don’t want to mispronounce it.”
See? Easy.
