Say bye-bye African-American, hello Soulaan. Let's take a look at what the term means and its potential to shine a light on the first American created ethnic group.
Wow, amazing, I have so many notes and comments (all positive! lol) but rather than be obnoxious i'll simply say thank you for writing this and educating people 🙏❤️🔥
Loved this! TikTok also introduced me to Soulaan and the emerging language of Soulaani and “tutting” I believe.
Being able to name ourselves in this world is so important and it’s just for US.
I also appreciated your section at the end of not using it to exclude or created guarded tribalism apart from the Black diasporas present in the country. Instead it’s about creating distinction and that feels so powerful.
I’m not Soulaan but I fully affirm my diaspora siblings in solidifying this identity 🫶🏾
uhhh what a beautiful readdd. i’m loving the parallels in claiming this identity for yourself as a ceremonial thing similar to some African practices of naming ceremonies. it is beautiful to have your community know and bless your name!!! ❤️🔥
Beautifully said. Our daughter introduced us to this term. She wrote about it for a class essay. The babies love it and get it.
Yes! We out here spreading the word
Beautiful post... 💚 Thank you!
