Black folk in predominantly white environments have often found it “exhausting” to continually describe for others the negative impact of racism on them. They have also felt it a burden to serve in the position of “teacher” representing the wider Black community, instead of being viewed as individuals with their own unique stories and needs.

For this panel, Black Americans from diverse backgrounds will share their stories on what it means to live in and love their own skin.
