Today marks the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

The United Nations recognizes that at least 15 million African women, men, non-men, children, and elders were kidnapped and trafficked across the Atlantic world (W. Europe, the Americas, and Caribbean). The founders of the United States and the European leaders of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries are ALL connected to this legacy of state-sanctioned exploitation and dehumanization.

August 22, 1791, marked the start of a series of revolts and slave uprisings led by enslaved and liberated Black and indigenous people, chief among them Sanite Bélair, Catherine Flon, Marie-Louise Coidavid, and Victorian Montou. This event would come to be known as the Haitian Revolution. 🇭🇹

As we continue decolonizing our politics and day-to-day practices, it's important that we take time to unlearn our miseducation and reclaim our history.

I wish there were more images from the Met Gala like this- not just revelling in the glamour of fashion but also acknowledging the human cost of it.

On the one hand this picture is a reminder of how far America has come in terms of race relations, giving us hope for further evolution (which is so sorely needed). On the other hand, it reminds us of the blood, sweat and tears that went into building America's cotton industry. Sadly, there are huge travesties and injustices that still happen in the name of fashion.

Fun fact!

The Dora Milaje in Black Panther are based on the Dahomey Amazons, who were the only documented OFFICIAL, FRONTLINE, COMBAT-BASED all-female military unit to this day.

Black women keep winning 😌
