In at least 350 words, think through the following and remember to reference specific text or video segments:

  1. Reflect on the ways youve seen (or not seen) Afro-Latinx identities represented in your own community, media, or education. How does the history of erasure discussed in the video shape these silences, and how might this connect to the exclusions described in The X in Latinx is a Wound, Not a Trend?
  2. Think about the role of language in shaping belonging. How have terms like Latino, Latina, Latinx, Latine included or excluded people in your own circles? What does this tell us about the relationship between naming, power, and anti-Blackness within Latinx communities?
  3. Consider your own position (whether inside or outside of Latinx communities). What concrete practices can you imagine that challenge anti-Blackness and uplift Afro-Latinx voices? How might these practices also resist other forms of erasure tied to gender, sexuality, or Indigeneity?
