Y’all
This involves us.

As a collective of stolen people on stolen land
Having borne witness to arbitrary lines drawn in and around us
Rebuking assertions of 3/5 humanity
Never granted full citizenship
All of this is real familiar
But white supremacy ain’t never bothered to get creative

Immigration is a Black Issue.
Period
To our diaspora kinfolk we will not compromise on your humanity

And to our non-Black immigrant cousins, these strategies, the violence, the disappearing of people while consuming their culture, is familiar. We believe you.

We carry your stories with ours, and we are uplift orgs like

In Solidarity

Y’all, if you are a Black person or a non Black person raising, caring, or providing for a Black child, teen or young person/ adult in SB county please complete this survey TODAY!

We are seeing causes like ours be defunded left and right, and the best way to push back is to record and share our stories.

This survey was lovingly prepared by Black residents and UCSB to document us at this point in time. Today is the final day to share your experience.

Make your story known.

Link is in the Juneteenth SB Bio 💕

💕 folks that complete the survey can enter to win a $200 gift card provided by NAACP Santa Maria Lompoc

All the gratitude to the fam at SBCC for hosting an affirming, celebratory and student led celebration of kinship. Black student alliance members got to tour campus, get connected to community resources, meet Black faculty and staff, while having important conversations with college peers about their experiences as Black students on campus 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Shout out to Umoja Program Advisor Leila Richardson for inviting us, and creating space for our Black Student Alliance students. Much appreciation to chaperones Faith, Simone, Anna and Julissa. And overflowing gratitude to UCSB, SBCC, and HJSB interns and staff (Donovan, Kamaya, Dere) for curating such a lovely gathering. .sbhs25

You may have seen in our stories (full post coming soon), but Umoja also provided the space for us to debut our new and expanded mobile Black history museum. We can wait to share more about this with yall!

And apologies for anybody we had to cut out of the group photo yall 🤣 we was pressed trying to make it fit but we tried!

Friends we are so greatful for the support and mutual aid you all offered to our sister friend and CEO Krystle Farmer Sieghart during her much needed emergency leave and sabbatical.

After much consideration, Kryslte shared with us her desire to step back and we are holding all the emotions for the love, care and intention she has shared with us over the past 4 years.

You can read her full farewell letter on our website. Please share any well wishes 💕💕

We remain committed to our kinfolk and while change is hard, we affirm the need for Black women to care for and love themselves.

With love in our hearts, we move forward and are proud to continue building upon the legacy Kryslte helped us create.
