The Safe Space is a space for the individual to tell their narratives as is and to be their authentic selves despite opinions from pop culture’s rhetoric. Episode III: The Other Kind of Blackness, focuses on the psychological nuances of existing in the African American population from the cultural lens of Black Caribbean Educators (who was once a student attending an American University). Today’s episode will feature Daynah Charlow. Ms. Charlow is a Youth Site Coordinator in Tennessee. According to Jeanne Batalova and Miriam Fedblum of the 19 million students at U.S. colleges and universities in 2018, 28% were either first-generation immigration of or children of immigrants. With Black Immigrants enrolled into a Postsecondary Education program, the numbers prove that 76% of black immigrants are the third generation. With such high numbers in enrollment, one must address hidden nuances of the cultural exposure to this worldly concept of blackness. The Episode’s intent is to bring awareness and educate people about the black experience of Black Immigrants and to expand upon the duality of existing in America.
