lou reading things | SKIN OF THE SEA is part of the problem with "own voices" @loureadingthings | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
it was never luck, it was always Exu
when is own voices a good label, and when does it hide harmful stereotyping? today we're looking at Skin of the Sea and all of the distortions it did of Yoruba belief and its diasporas, and to understand once and for all: Esu is not evil.

BRAZIL COVID RELIEF: Just as in the USA, black and impoverished people were disproportionately affected by the COVID crisis in Brazil. UNEAFRO is an organization dedicated to helping students from Favelas and marginalized communities with their studies and college prep, but with the schools closed, they have rerouted their efforts to make sure vulnerable families receive food, basic hygiene kits, and cover rent and basic utilities. Because of the currency exchange rate, 20 USD is enough to feed a family of 4 for a month. If you can, consider donating at:
