Central American Voices

Language is part of our daily communication; however, in our vocabulary, we have normalized words that affect how our society divides us. In this episode, we not only go over some words we have normalized, but we also share how impacted it has been for decades to our communities of color.

For decades Anti-Blackness has been normalized in our daily lives. After the death of George Floyd and the Black Liberation Movement across the United States, we want to talk to our non-black people, as we have seen multiples statements that erase our Black Communities in Central America. Sussan and Alejandra discuss why those statements are problematic and why we should do more than talking about it at home.
