a princess of now

Since the 4th, writers for ibarw have been writing about race and ethnicity. Since the 9th, the Carnival of Women of Color and Beauty has gone live. Behind the cut, I've placed pictures and links to pieces drawn from these sources, as well as otherwhere.

The theme of ibarw has been intersectionality. I am fully a woman. I am fully a black. I am fully a person. In me they are inseparable. I believe that those who demand I choose are no more respectful of their humanity than they are of mine.
