"A woman-of-color who writes poetry or paints or dances or makes movies knows there is no escape from race or gender when she is writing or painting. She can’t take off her color and sex and leave them at the door or her study or studio. Nor can she leave behind her history. Art is about identity, among other things, and her creativity is political."

conversations in
content/trigger warning: discussion about war, violence
during big events at my school, we have event-staff come in. today I met a person who was tasked to sit outside the room, which was attached to our main office, where the performer and crew were changing/hanging out. they were super nice, soft spoken, honest, and inquisitive. they asked me about students at the school here after working the closing shift at swem library and seeing the mass of people leaving at 2am. they then told me about where they went to college, UofR and then VCU. and then they told me about the time that they spent between those two schools. less than a week after they withdrew from UofR because of finances, they received a draft letter from the US army to serve in the Vietnam War and served for three years. I tried not to ask too many questions nor let my mind wander about with curiosity on the subject and spent more energy listening. They opened up about some things that I never could have imagined, their own experiences, the people they knew, their thoughts on why the draft letter came so soon after their withdraw from the institution of UofR. After about thirty minutes, they paused and looked at me and said, “This is the most I’ve ever talked to anyone about it. That part of my life is completely over.”

Dear White People (2012)
DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where a riot breaks out over a popular “African American” themed party thrown by white students. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the film will explore racial identity in “post-racial” America while weaving a universal story of forging one’s unique path in the world.
