They borrowed the rhythm. The moves. The swag. But when it came time to show our faces—they erased us.

BTS's "Arirang" teaser set at Howard University in 1896 showed a crowd that was mostly white. At an HBCU. In the middle of Jim Crow.

And when Black fans spoke up? Excuses. Deflections. "It's just art."

This isn't about canceling. It's about calling out a centuries-old pattern: taking from Black culture while pretending Black people don't exist.

So we asked the question nobody wants to answer:

If this were your partner—would you stay or leave?

Because love isn't just borrowing someone's flavor. It's seeing their face. Hearing their voice. Respecting their history.

Turkana Travels Day 3:

From windswept shores and ancient stories to landscapes that seem to hold conversations with time itself, Turkana was an adventure that stretched my imagination and deepened my appreciation for Kenya's rich cultural heritage.

Grateful to Macondo and TBI for making this journey possible. Every mile brought new encounters—with people, history, art, archaeology, resilience, and the breathtaking beauty of a place where earth, sky, water, and memory meet.

I returned with a camera full of moments, a notebook full of ideas, and a heart full of gratitude.
