Have you ever been asked to check a box in order to identify your complex cultural heritage?
What tools of oppression are being used when we are asked to deny pieces of our family tree or to simplify our identity to a politicized, racial construct?
In this fascinating interview, Maryella Marie chats with Sundiata Soon-Jahta about his recent ancestry DNA test results and deep dives into his decision to reject race as a social construct while also embracing his complex heritage.
This intimate conversation is one for the history books!
“I believe the future will reveal itself to have more and more people rejecting race— the divisiveness, the standardization, the erasure, and the "power-over & control" embedded in it." —Sundiata Soon-Jahta
