Hi. My friends and and I used to refer to ourselves as brown sometimes instead of mestizas, they're darker skin latinx but I'm Light skinned. I as wondering if it's ok to refer to yourself as brown instead of Mestizó? And if Whitepassing/Lighterskinned mestizos should be able to do it?

I think its fine for Mestizxs to refer to themselves as brown if that’s what they want to do. 

For white passing people, again, I feel like its really up to them. On one hand, white passing implies their skin isn’t brown, but at the same time, Brownness is sometimes used as a descriptor of culture and white passing people are still part of the culture. I feel like if you feel it applies to you, then go for it.

I like it when an interviewer misspells and asks me how the art world responds to my 'browness' - because brows are an important part of my identity. Not an issue on radio, like tonight on @3rrrfm 102.7fm with @sistaselekta on White Noise at 730pm #brownness #browness Image : detail from Sub-Cultural Charms, 2013 (at Triple R - 3RRR 102.7FM)

Hi everyone,

Ariel Jeffrey Kouakou from Montreal has been missing since March 12, 2018. He went to visit his friend that lived a few blocks away from him, but his friend was not home. Ariel never came back home.

Ariel is was last seen wearing a black coat with a hood, grey pants and yellow shoes. He is about four-foot-seven and 88 pounds.

An amber alert was triggered on Tuesday but was lifted 24 hours after as the criteria to maintain it was no longer being met. As of today (March 16, 2018) Ariel still hasn’t been found. 

The police and many volunteers have been canvassing the streets to find him but they have had no luck. There’s also a surveillance video of Ariel walking by and turning around twice. His family believes he was kidnapped. 

Canadian/Quebec followers, if you have any information, please contact Info-Crime Montreal at 514-393-1133 or call 911. Anything helps.

In the meantime, a GoFundMe has been set up to help his family as they concentrate their efforts on the search of their son. Please donate if you can, or simply share within your network.

On a personal, we are based in Canada and this story is all we can think about.  We pray that Ariel is found.
