Transcending Race
What does it mean to transcend race?
I discuss what it means to go 'beyond' your race and whether this is a progressive or reductive aspiration for the Pan-African diaspora.
Transcending race is a complicated topic that’s entangled in both systematic racism and the ability to overcome oppression. From the house negro, to O.J. Simpson and arguably even Fela Kuti and Beyoncé, the ability to transcend race is the dream for some and a nightmare for others.
