MIZIZI: Diaspora Diaries

MIZIZI: Diaspora Diaries

Blackness isn't a monolith. Though we share this beautiful melanated skin, some of our experiences are different. The languages we speak, the food we eat, the music we listen to, and the clothes we like. Black is beautiful, but it's also diverse.

For MIZIZI International's black history month launch, I set out to tell 4 different stories rather than just "sell" our jerseys. We call it the #DiasporaDiaries. I had so much fun and learned so much from ideation to production and everything in between!

Here's Bianca representing the Afrolatinas this black history month! For More videos from the series, click here
