Ana Cecilia Perez’s project has engaged thousands of Latinx people. And now, in the wake of this new global uprising over the killing of Black people, her team and her have decided to create two new workshops focused on Challenging anti-Blackness in the Latinx Community and a Black Brilliance space for Black Latinx. Perez wants to share what she has learned through her experiences, so that Indigenous and POC together can confront, tackle, and unlearn the anti-Blackness that allows us to unconsciously comply with maintaining structural anti-Black racism. While Indigenous and other people of color traditionally lack the power to enact racism, we can and do exercise clear racial prejudice against Black people.
