🚨📚I am very proud to announce my new article, “Black Feminist Thought and the New Materialist Turn,” published with Hypatia. This article accounts for intersectionality’s decline in recent black feminist thought, and the subsequent turn to Wynter, Spillers, Hartman + others.

After slavery ended in Guyana, Africans purchased Victoria Village and established their own local political system. One of the interesting aspects of the village movement in Guyana was the fact that women were allowed the right to vote. This was before women in England and the US could vote.

Shout out to the children of the #Caribbean who are first generation born outside of their “home” country, but whose parents did everything possible to keep them connected to the land, culture, and the people.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it.

When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

We have to stop this. Us. Black men. We have to.

Elsa Goveia (12 April 1925 – 18 March 1980), Legendary #Caribbean historian, born 101 years ago today, in British Guiana. She was the first woman to become a professor at the newly created University College of the West Indies (UCWI). One of the first historians to define "slave society" rather than "colonial society", which effectively left out enslaved Africans and free Blacks. #Jamaica #Guyana

The Prime Minister of Barbados remember the contribution of Cuban doctors during the pandemic. So many Caribbean countries and south and central Americans are turning their back against Cuba because America pressuring them to do so.. Cuban doctors saves millions of lives over the past 50 years. Stand in solidarity with the people of Cuba..
