So many takes on #BlackIsKing (esp continent vs diaspora--AGAIN!), but come on Black and African-descended folks: we need to give ourselves permission to contain multitudes.
We are so many different things at once. No one thing can be everything for everyone, nor should it try.

Though #BlackIsKing swings broadly, it still speaks to select sub-groups. It's okay that it doesn't speak for everyone, and that's to be expected. Last I checked, no one thing speaks for Asia or Europe or the Americas. One album can't embody one of the most populous 🌍 groups.
If anyone decides to take #BlackIsKing as the solo definition and epitome of Blackness/Africanness, that's a them problem. You be your own kind of Black/African. Tell your own story. Contain your multitudes.
