It's Tuesday! So far this month, we've been talking about anti-Blackness in South Asian communities in response to events in the US & UK. It's also June aka Pride month 🏳️‍🌈 so we'll be talking in coming weeks abt LGBTQIA+ South Asian heritage. #SharedHeritage #OSCH #kickthedust Today though, I want to talk about something you might not have heard about - June is a significant month for the Sikh community as it marks the anniversary of a darker time in our history, from the year 1984. #sikhheritage #OSCH #Sharedheritage

has written a series of articles for @WritersofColour on how Anti-Blackness is manifested in South Asia and in our diasporic communities. (2) mediadiversified.org/2018/12/14/ant…
