'Blackness is as diverse as the very earth on which we stand.' - MichaelaangelaD
. I suspect Hannah-Jones will be framed in history as one of the intellectual giants of the Black Lives Matter Movement, whose radical reporting gave us empirical and empowering historical facts about the foundation on whose land and labor this democracy project was built.
"Blackness is as diverse as the very earth on which we stand. It is like the sands of Sierra Leone, brown and red like the clay dirt of Georgia, and deeply dark like the fertile soil of the Black Belt Prairie in Alabama and Mississippi." The Black women of Gen Z are also using their words to liberate. Consider Sage, a community-centered trans artist and. Her father is first-gen Afro-Cuban and her mother is white. I recently had breakfast with her in a little coffee spot in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where we talked liberation, and the protective nature of lashes.
At 21, Sage is already an iconic force, designed to be a liberator through difficulty and divine order. Like many trans women of color, her childhood was rife with trauma, displacement, and violence. Nearly everywhere was a minefield: her school and her hood. "When I was ten or eleven, white boys were throwing glass at me," she remembered, "calling me a porch monkey, a faggot, everything.
"The three things that led me to do the work I do were fear, necessity to change the reality that instilled that fear in me, and [knowing] the privilege I held as a light-skinned trans girl with the tools and resources to push forward the fight for liberation," she told me. Her activism led her into policy work, beginning with telling her powerful story to the Human Rights Campaign.
