Episode 1: Myth of Racial Mixture in Latinx Communities

Episode 2 of our series presents the voices of Latinx people with heritage spanning the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. Our discussion illustrates how experiences of race, color, and language in the U.S., sometimes lead Spanish-speaking Blacks to choose between their Blackness and Latinness in everyday encounters, as well as in their understandings of self.

In episode 3 of our series, we explore how to shift our collective discourse towards recognizing *afrolatinidad* (Black Latinness) as a complete and distinct identity, rather than a category between Blackness and Latinidad.
