The core of The LatiNegr@s Project’s mission is anti-oppression and supports equity in access and representation for LatiNegr@s everywhere. At the same time, we acknowledge that being LatiNegr@s in the U.S., we address a bulk of concerns experienced in the U.S. and write in a space that is English-dominant as our team and followers are a blend of English-dominant and multilingual in varying degrees. This space is inclusive of the vast languages LatiNegr@s worldwide communicate in and we welcome submissions or contributions from these languages.
We actively seek to promote the narratives and perspectives of LatiNegr@s worldwide. This means that although differences of opinions may arise within the collective, as a group and as an anti-oppression project, we are actively against any harm, violence, or injustice based on physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, or sexual identities, abilities, or preferences. We promise transparency-in terms of our privilege(s), our position on the issues, and our accountability process.
TRIGGER WARNING: This space discusses the lived realities and histories of people who identify as racially Black and ethnically Latin@ all over the world. Posts may reference violence in many forms and topics and discussion may range from ableism to xenophobia to everything in between.
This award-winning project started as the formal US focus on Black History Month (February 1-28/9) was upon us. Please know that our goal to celebrate all of the peoples who have influence and history via the African Diasporas. Expanding the inclusively of Blackness is not just during Black History Month but all year round for several of us, self-identified LatiNeg@s, Afr@Latin@s, BlakTin@s, and Afr@-Caribeñ@s.
This site is 365 days a year 24 hours a day 7 days a week! As people who recognize and claim the African heritage and history, we have often been excluded from US History, whether it be Black history, Women's Herstory (March), LGBTQA history, or Latin@ history (September 15-October 15) (to name a few). Join us in honoring and recognizing LatiNegr@s this year during Black, Women, LGBTQA, and Latin@ History Month and year round! We are Black, Latin@ and from all over the world! We REPRESENT!
