Status Updates From Zenzele: A Letter for My Da...

this chapter leaves me feeling anger & sadness really good though and very well written

enjoying this thoroughly!

still thinking about what i said about seeking western thought & it feels like the non-western world prioritizes western advancement when all we really need to be is in dialogue with it. we seek the “treasure” of the west in a way that forsakes the ones not in the west when there’s treasure to be found everywhere, and what works for one isn’t guaranteed to work for all.

enjoying it so much, really appreciate the writing style. makes me wish i was more observant, especially of things that feel/seem ordinary

so far has me reflecting on our obsession with white thought and ideology and i mean this in every sense of “white thought” be it from the ones that are meant to be liberating or dictatorial. we have far more superior traditions to look to for every aspect of life!
