This was inexplicably moving to me. So much so I teared up while I was eating lunch.
I have intellectually understood what the African diaspora meant/means but today was legit the first time I saw myself within it.
Like...The way he put it. The sixth African nation, dispersed, scattered, but still connected. Like an unwilling prodigal.
It hit me hard.

Tressie McMillan Cottom on spending Juneteenth with Black Oregonians and Portlanders.

Interesting thing from last night:
Like James Baldwin, my Bestie is getting the eff out of America.
Him: Girl, I'm done. This country is done. And I'm tired. I don’t owe this place shit. No Black person does. These people can work it out themselves. So I got an apartment in Bangkok so I can be prepared.
Hearing that from him was the first time I took serious pause and thought about my options.
I am having an unexpected emotional response to the Kehinde Wiley exhibit at the de Young. Particularly his bronzes. His gorgeous bronzes of Black life extinguished.

When I first got here i started following the #BlackTwitter #BIPOC #BlackAcademia #BlackDiaspora #BlackHistory tags - you can start building follow lists there.
An #Introduction post is also a good way to find your people.
One person to follow is @BlackAzizAnansi - his acct is a good node to leap from.
These tags are everything. Now i can find my people!!
