    A Love Letter to Afro-Latine Youth

    There is a common misconception the Latino community started in the 1980s. Afro-Latine experience in the DMV is often ignored and intentionally excluded from its history. Manuel and Angeley aim to complicate that narrative in a riveting conversation about anti-blackness, youth, and why these stereotypes continue to plague our community.
