the value of predominantly black spaces (podcast)
Why are predominantly black spaces needed?
I finally watched ‘Colin in Black and White’ on Netflix, and young Colin’s early experiences definitely affirmed the need for safe black spaces - especially for those who have grown up in or been continuously exposed to predominantly white spaces.
A place where code-switching isn’t required, where impostor syndrome rarely rears its head, a place where one can belong instead of just fitting in.
Or, at the very least, where one can express one’s own self-concept without external influence or outside interference from those who do not have a similar experience in the world.
