Basic Black

A look at cultural identity and representation. How can members of the BIPOC community preserve the integrity of their cultural group, cultural traditions and norms while providing racial understanding? In addition, what happens when people of color from various groups do not want to be seen or considered as a racial monolith but as someone from an individual group with a specific ethnic background and ideology? And since George Floyd's death and the climate of racial reckoning plus DEI, has identity and appropriation become narrower or broader?
