our performance was fun! i was in a really good mood yesterday and came to class with that enthusiasm. intersectionality is cool and all, but, as has been said before x different ways, I'm focused on racialization as the first instance of self-consciousness... im also very much interested in what nyasa brought into class, the Combahee collective and the implications of black womanness... i see things in equations and diagrams a lot so in thinking about subjectivity-formation, I want to consider the black femme's position in a diagram of self-making... (thinking about achille mbembe and his essay "african modes of self-writing" which my sociologist friend, crystal shared with me this morning...)
