Forgotten Concepts - Boston’s African Diaspora Community Chat

Despite the billions poured into traditional nonprofits and diversity initiatives, those of the African diaspora across Massachusetts remain structurally excluded from housing, safety, access, and power. The most well-known organizations, some of them decades old, nationally connected, and media-friendly, have not meaningfully shifted the material conditions of our lives. We still die waiting for healthcare. We are still locked out of housing by design. We are still seen as threats, not neighbors. And we are still told to be grateful for “progress” that is mostly performative. Forgotten Concepts (African founded, lead and maintained) exists because we believe that liberation for the African diaspora can’t be granted. It must be built locally, communally, and with the full intent of replacing the systems that failed us. We are not here to empower people. We are here to remove the conditions that ever made empowerment necessary.

Is there anywhere that has public viewings of Love Island USA episodes? I think this would be a great way to bond and find community!!!
