We are two Afro-Latin PhDs taking an anti-racist approach to center the contribution of Black people and culture across Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas through dance and music.
Our work aims to:
- educate consumers of Afro-Latin and Afro-Caribbean culture on its Black roots
- highlight the work of Black artists, dancers, and scholars across the Americas
- develop a practice of anti-racism in the Afro-Latin dance scene 🇵🇷 🇨🇴
