Inhaling Anti-Blackness, Exhaling Liberation | Kisha Porcher | TEDxUniversityofDelaware

Anti-Blackness is smog, we all breathe it in. With guidance, wisdom, and history of Black ancestors and scholars, Kisha Porcher, vulnerably narrates her journey of internalized anti-Blackness to liberation. Kisha Porcher, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of English at the University of Delaware, a mother scholar-practitioner, and agent of change for students. She works deliberately to disrupt anti-Blackness and racism in spaces she occupies, and holds others accountable to dismantle and disrupt anti-Blackness and racism in their respectable spaces. The work she does is for the freedom and legacy of her family, community, and society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
