Embracing multifaceted identities as Afro-Latinos/as/xs, woven from African and colonial European legacies, we must confront the reality that some within our cultural community, often due to the miseducation ingrained in Eurocentric systems, reinforce anti-Black practices like colorism and discrimination. Studies estimate Afro-descendants in Latin America to number approximately 250 million, highlighting the vastness and importance of this struggle. This event delves into these nuanced experiences, exploring how Afro-Latino/a/xs navigate these intersecting identities to forge a complete sense of self and center Blackness within our lived realities and how we combat these biases through education, representation, and dismantling Eurocentric power structure.
