Why Black History Month Isn’t Enough | Nelson Estevez & Samira Beija | Blacktinidad

Описание: What does Black History Month mean to Afro-Latinos—and why isn’t one month enough?

Nelson Estevez and Samira Beija share their perspectives on Afro-Latino identity, the Black diaspora, and the importance of celebrating Black culture beyond February. From supporting Black-owned businesses to educating future generations, they reflect on how history, identity, and culture shape their daily lives.

“The boat made different stops, but we all come from the same motherland.”

This conversation explores the intersection of Black and Latino identity, representation in media, and why honoring Black culture should be a year-round commitment.

Black history isn’t just something we remember. It’s something we live—and create—every day.
