This episode of #MoreThanUS takes a look at the early beginnings and lives of Belvin (@bels.bites/@b_liles) and Kara (@MyLifeIsKara). Two young African Americans, respectively from Detroit, MI, and Salisbury, MD, who had varying experiences with race relations in America that have shaped their perspectives on how they view the world. Belvin and Kara's conversation is important for America because it sheds light on the realities of being black and growing up in white spaces, the frustration of self-expression that has been masked for years, and exploring positive forms of "reclaiming our time/space".
There also is a feature from an up-and-coming artist, WhoIsMarco (@85Countach), with his song "Necessary". Marco takes time to reflect in this minute-long artistic piece to share his thoughts and pain on current race relations in America.
