Learning from Black Lives: A review of Diaspora Café: D.C.
Originally Published in the Los Angeles Review of Books
Understanding the lived experiences of Black people is the only way that we will strive to live in an Anti-Racist society and affirm all expressions of Blackness as being important in our struggle against white supremacy. By highlighting different stories of not passing, of gaining a Black consciousness, of immigration, of love, we gain an insight that is seldom seen in Black collections of poetry and are invited into seeing Blackness more fully.
