This past summer I started spending more time on Medium. And with that came more engagement with other writers.

But something else happened.

After hearing my partner’s annoying comment “we’re all one race,” I began to branch out the scope of my stories. Crafting this piece, I decided to use my voice.

It made me realize there’s no need to fear writing stories about race, racism, sexism, or any of the other ‘isms’ out there.

Enter AfroSapiophile.

With 2,000 + followers, the publication brings a different flavor to Medium. As a safe space for authors to boldly present their perspectives, Founder and Editor Johnny Silvercloud articulates the pub’s vision thusly:

AfroSapiophile is a hub for critical thinking and analysis pertaining to civil rights, human rights, systemic racism, and sexism across politics, entertainment, and history.

To be crystal clear, it is a place where Black voices are centered. Here, we hold zero fear of white supremacy and its advocates. And for that, Johnny and his editors are to be credited.
