Don't Erase Afro-Latinx People

This episode of This American Negro discusses the Afro-Latino experience and what this means with Fat Joe's comments, Jharrel Jerome's speech, and Miles Morales' depiction as a character, which meant a lot to me to see. Let me know your thoughts on the episode. Use #TANPod to keep up with the conversation and I can interact with y'all on social media. 

For Freedom's Journal I discuss: 

Do Districts Actually Want Black Male Teachers? 

Beyonce and Rihanna's creative processes.

UPDATE: I just listened to the new episode of Bag Ladiez Podcast. I noticed that we referenced some of the same articles. I do believe that they have a strong affinity to explain this topic, since they have this lived experience. I would recommend you listen to their most recent episode. I recognize that they have such a dope experience and platform, so I wanted to make sure that I gave credit where it is due. I highly recommend this podcast. I just started listening to them earlier this month and have been happy to hear these perspectives.
