CULTURE

Dear BLK people,

We greet you with gratitude! For, as it holds true, historically you continue to endure and overcome endless adversity. In the past year, you managed to bear ample existential threats. From disproportionately higher confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths within the black and minority communities, relentless systemic racism and racial injustices, to societal insensitivities towards the black psyche, and so on. As a community, you are often seesawing between insidious triggers, traumas, and tragedy. An entropic state of constantly tethering.  As a result, you are #TIREDAF!

​

In the midst of it, you have collectively poured into your personal and public spaces. Utilizing the unprecedented nature of year 2020 to organize, challenge, create, and expand spaces that facilitate you to simply be. Publicly tending to your wounds. Unabashed to illustrate and articulate the depth of your afflictions. Unapologetic in absolving yourself from the American perception that you were ‘Born a Crime’. 

​

BLK people, we are you.

​

Although, we - as BLK people - share historical ties to oppressive and marginalized narratives, those narratives are just narratives. Minimizing the vastness of our blackness.  Utter underrated in the fact that our diversity invigorates our resilience. To be black is to be ...

As a buttress of our indefinable blackness: we intend to highlight, share, and celebrate black history and culture. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

TWO5FIVE Group
