When Did I Become Black?

Was having a very interesting conversation with my nibling this morning, about the lack of Puerto Rican culture that was cultivated in their household and how their Boricua-ness would be gone by the next generation, if it wasn't gone already.

When did I become Black? If I was being honest, other than a cookout or two a year, we weren't really overtly Black in my household either. It is such a curious thing to think about because I am known as the #ExtraBlack uncle to my nieces, niblings and nephews. I was more likely to get Frankenberry for breakfast than anything remotely ethnic.

For all intensive purposes, I was raised American. Watching American television shows, going to American schools, participating in American extracurricular activities, all the while speaking English. I guess the obvious thing is to unpack what exactly is American, if I am looking through a childhood lens, it would be popular culture that seemed to be practiced by everybody else, no matter what their social economical background.

I grew up in a time when even though cable had just began to peek its head out, we were all watching the same television shows at the same times. We bought similar food at the supermarket, we ate out at the same places, the Chinese restaurant, the pizza shop, my mom bought her meat at Butcher Boys like everyone else in our small town.

My mom never made black-eyed peas with neck-bones or fish and grits, a unique dinner meal for us was pork chops and applesauce, the very same thing I knew the Brady family ate on television. And for all intensive purposes my peers were having the same thing at least I assumed they were. The most unique thing my white friend Robert bought to school in his homemade lunch was fruit roll ups, which he always shared with me if I made a funny face for him. I was one of the free lunch recipients but both Black and white kids got free lunch.

My local public elementary school was pretty dichromatic, you were either white or Black. Even looking at the low-resolution class photo, there are maybe some Latinx folks in the class, but the only colors that come through clearly are white and Black. There are about four kids who may be "other" albeit at the time I had no idea of what that other could be, my interaction with Latinx kids was severely limited, I remember meeting a Latino cousin at a family picnic in the park and I thought he was so cool, more-so for just being something different than what I normally experienced.

Dr. King was on the peripheral of my existence, no portrait of him hung in any of the homes I was raised in. My mom did have a bust of Nefertiti, but she felt like a white lady to me, I didn't know any Black women who looked like that. I can clearly recall my mom's dashikis, but I just thought they were comfortable shirts, not a statement or a symbol of defiance against The Man. I guess the Blackness was there, but not in such great amounts to make it distinctive against the homogeny of Americanness.

Seriously, I am not the first person to ask what qualifies as Black, an albeit its such a huge part of my identities today, its like I said in another essay, "I Never Made It About Race, America Did". As I told my nibling, I hadn't really considered my race other than the altercation I had biking through this neighborhood in my town and being chased away by white boys being called a nigger. My race didn't really come to the forefront until I moved to the Bronx after my mom died, and it seemed like I entered an episode of Oz because everyone was grouped by where their ancestors came from, not the fact that we were all just American kids trying to figure out puberty and the world around us.

It was at this time Asians came to my awareness and Latinx became much more prominent, I then also learned that there were special groups of white people like the Albanians who terrorized my Bronx neighborhood. But city-life was much different than life in a small town, we had gangs in a city, a whole new vegetable, as I entered junior high school and I was terrorized by Decepticons, who were not ten foot tall talking robots.

Colorism was introduced to me way before racism, which is curious because colorism is racisms first cousin. I remember repeatedly being called out for being dark-skinned usually by people who had complexions just like mine. Meaning my Black peers or more-than-likely their parents had drank that white supremacy Kool-Aid that sought to divide us as far back as the plantation up into current times.

Very early I learned that my complexion wasn't as desired as my brothers medium browns or my mixed first cousins very fair complexions due to their whyte mom, my Aunt Cynthia who was married to my mom's youngest and only brother. The call was coming from inside the house, which did lead to me thinking less of myself and wanting to be lighter like my siblings.

I am gonna stop and post this here, but this feels like a topic I can explore a lot deeper because in my head I haven't answered the question I put forth at the top. I didn't answer my own question in my essay, I think the topic is much more complicated than I initially thought and that Blackness was something I came into slowly over a long period of time, not necessarily because I wanted to, but because I was forced to.

Week 4 - Poster Concept Designs

I tried testing out the colour palette that I have chosen and incorporate it into my poster concepts. I found the colours to be engaging and easy to read with text.

I tried playing around with the layout of the text to see which one is more appropriate. I chose Bely Display as my display font and Brevia as my body text.

Brevia has different styles of strokes from light to extrablack Italic which could be adjusted to tailor the different appearances to create hierarchy and contrast.

Yesterday, the DMV Tribe of @nomadnesstribe held a SOLD OUT private screening of @blackpanther. THE MOVIE WAS EXCELLENT!! It was extra moisturized (#allthebutters), the women were fierce, themes were relevant and touching, there was beauty upon beauty, and more than exceeded the hype! I had the pleasure of documenting the event via @chaneljaaliphotography. Here are a few photos from our trip to Wakanda, with a pregame at #blackownedbusiness Hen Quarter! #dmvtribe #nomadness #wakanda #wakandaforever #doramilaje #extrablack #blackityblack #blackexellence #alltimehigh #triptowakanda #blackpanther #blackpanthermovie #wocphotographer #bgwac #dcphotographer #dmvphotographer #chaneljaaliphotography (at Kingdom of Wakanda)

do you guys happen to know what the ladyworld or together through time font is?

Sorry this ask took so long to answer! I delegated it to someone else originally and then we all forgot.

The font for Ladyworld is called Black Tulip ITC, and the font for TTT is, I think, Powerlane ExtraBlack or Marbold.
