This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, I feel fire in my stomach. I stand for our sovereignty, our protection and our flourishing. I am giving my rage room to speak and choosing what I feed with this fire.

#BannedBookWeek #LetBooksBe #BlackSkyRelay When Black authors, Black history are pushed out libraries people are denied truth of America—truth about themselves. Erasing these stories does not protect: it limits. Black stories are American stories. Tag artist if use collage: @arw-raw.bsky.social

A textured and layered collage featuring books by Black authors whose works have been banned or challenged, including Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Angie Thomas, Jason Reynolds, Ibram X. Kendi, W.E.B. Du Bois, Layla F. Saad, Christopher Paul Curtis, and others. The image includes Black history, identity, resistance, education, and storytelling, with the words “BANNED, BUT NEVER ERASED,” “BLACK AUTHORS,” “BLACK STORIES,” and “AMERICAN STORIES.” During #BannedBooksWeek, this collage honors Black literature and calls attention to the voices being removed from classrooms and libraries. #LetBooksBe means letting books educate, challenge, expand empathy, and help us understand experiences beyond our own. Black history is American history. Black literature is American literature. Black voices belong on the shelf. Read the books. Question the bans. Protect the freedom to learn. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #BlackAuthors #BlackLiterature #BlackStories #BookBans #BlackSkyRelay #BlackWriters #BlackAuthors #BlackPoets #ReadBlackAuthors #LiteraryFreedom #BooksNotBans #BlackVoicesMatter Collage by #ARW-RAW # A #Solseed Joint Tag Artist if use image: @arw-raw

Started as a note and ended here. Ra/cist #Propaganda —This needed more context and intellectual clarity from me and below is what I wrote in regards to yet again another corporate— intentional attack against Black Americans by Converse, which is a subsidiary of Nike. ⤵️ medium.com/@Ms.AWashing...

Ra/cist “SIGNIFYING” is Terror Propaganda

Called: “signifying” as Black American we know this is no oversight. Intentional alignment to a particular violence against Black Lives. Converse | Nike must be held accountable. It’s time to stop madness and start recognize the (repetitive) onslaught of racism in corporate n governmental politics.
