From Blanquemiento to Black-imiento

Even before the protests and outrage that stemmed from the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd, there have been discussions about anti-Blackness in Latinx/a/o communities. This episode focuses on addressing anti-Blackness by centering Blackness in our comunidad through the tenets of Black-imiento created by Amalia Dache, Jasmine Marie Haywood, y Cristina Mislán in 2019. La Profesora talks with Dra. Amalia Dache about applying the tenets of Black-imiento to the study of higher education, as well as the application of Black-imiento in student success work with Dr. Jason Arrington-Rivera. Our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Sarah Gonzales curates poetry from Diannely Antigua.
