(Pt. 2) I See You, Sis: A Conversation Between Sisters Across the African Diaspora

(Part 2): In honor of 2021’s Black History Month theme on representation, identity, and diversity in the black community and family, I partnered with the Afrimerican Cultural Initiative along with my panelists to moderate this event to discuss the role of the extended family and fictive kinships, whether it still takes a village to raise one another, and the changing roles of women in our world today. In the spirit of sisterhood, we see you, sis! I chose this topic and the title of the event, 'I See You, Sis' in line with this year’s Black History Month theme on family. As we go through life, we add people to our families who might not be blood-related but love-related as some may call it. Close friends who have become part of your village, your support system, your extended family. Especially for those of us living in the diaspora, and who work or school or otherwise navigate systems where we are oftentimes the minority, it’s always nice to be able to identify with one another and be able to say, I see you, sis. A special thank you to my lovely panelists: Kathy, Toynia, Keturah, and Emmanuelle. Thank you also to Afrimerican Cultural Initiative's founder, Marlon Solomon, for this collaboration.
