Have you ever noticed that certain experiences feel obvious to you — but invisible to others? Have you ever tried to explain a moment of bias or dismissal, only to be told it probably wasn't about race?

What do we mean when we say Black invisibility?

In this Espresso Talk — a calm, focused reflection grounded in lived experience — Ama-Robin sits inside Nommo Bookstore in YAIT Town and names a reality many Black people live with daily: being present but unseen, harmed but doubted, accomplished but erased.

During Black History Month — a time that appears to center Black visibility — this episode explores why invisibility doesn't disappear just because February arrives. In fact, the contrast can make it clearer.

Through personal reflection and steady truth-telling, Ama-Robin examines how Black experiences are minimized, gaslit, and rewritten — and why naming this pattern matters.

This is not a rant. It is recognition. You ain't imagining this.
