Expanding and diversifying the narrative of success within the Diaspora.
Black In is a cultural critique expanding and diversifying the narrative of success within the African Diaspora. This project provides a space for open and honest conversations with our community where they can share in their own words how they got to where they are today, the trials and tribulations, lessons learned, and guidance or advice they’d like to impart to the community. It is important that we have agency in the collection, sharing, and preservation of our narratives.
