Reimagining Black History Month: Q&A with Fatra
Seattle Department of Neighborhoods met with Y-WE Participant, Fatra, to talk about her thoughts on Reimagining Black History Month and her dreams for Black future in Seattle.
Redefining Blackness
Blackness itself means so many things in our past, present, and future so you can’t sum it up with words. It’s a culture, a fashion, an unwritten constitution, a lens, a lifestyle, an expectation, a feeling, a motivator, the change, the radicality, the possibility, the past, the present, the future; it’s everything. Y-WE participant, Indigo, shares her experience with Blackness, whitewashing, and more.
