👀Have you 'othered' someone based on their 'unusual' tribal marks? What was the symbolism of beauty or honour is now by the west seen as unusual characteristics of blackness that project our barbaric and unattractive nature.⠀ .⠀ This is a topic that we (@oshunsvanity) know hardly anything about, even finding a book which highlights the studies of Africans kidnapped to the Caribbean as slaves with tribal marks was a complete shock - but yet why was it 😒. We struggled to know where to start so we just going to start here but the research must continue! ⠀ .⠀ There is a duty to delve deeper into aspects of blackness that Nubians of the diaspora may assume have nothing really do with their culture. The magnitude of brainwashing and removal from oneself was brutal! Use the effects of that disrespect drive you to unlock what was stolen and othered! But where to start?⠀ .⠀ 📸 (Dinku woman - Sudan) - Unknown.⠀ #dinku #sudan #tribalmarks #beauty #beautyideal #communication #westindies #carribean #africs #alkebulan #blackstudies https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1Q8iRAUIw/?igshid=1j9dzp6x4f0fq
