All Ways Black: Black Legacy + Foundation

Cree Myles

Cree Myles, Founding Editor of All Ways Black

Being the first, and laying the foundation, is a painful reality that many of us Black folks know all too well. Building something from scratch is a tedious undertaking. It involves sobering amounts of hope and faith. It requires a surrendering, both to the process and to a vision oftentimes no one can see but you. Doing so while also doubling as a token or mascot increases the challenge tenfold. Yet, time and time again, we’ve done it with grace, love, and honor — because seeing beyond ourselves is one of the most beautiful things about this community. Happy reading!
