Every Day Is Black Heritage Month: A Conversation Between Yvette Modestin and Tianna S. Paschel

Abstract

This essay features commentary from Boston-based Afro-Panamanian activist, Yvette Modestín, about her experiences as an Afro-Latina immigrant to the USA and her organizing with Red de Mujeres Afro-Latinoamericanas, Afro-Caribeñas, y Diáspora and Encuentro Diaspora Afro. Tianna Paschel integrates her own analysis and provides context for her conversation with Yvette Modestín. This essay also calls attention to the gendered dynamics of political organizing in Afro-Latin American and Afro-Latino communities. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
