Beautiful risings Laura, first, thank you for this article. If you only knew, I have had a draft in my head for at least 5 months about who exactly gets to call themselves ‘american’

Stay tuned for it.

It’s interesting because a friend of mine - he’s Togolese-French - was the 1st person to school me on how the colonizers created borders because in Mama Africa (that’s how I call the mother continent) there were none.

Sending warmth your way, from the jewel of Loíza, Borikén. 💚
