"My Blackness" by Mercury Wolff

From Mercury Wolff for La Galería Magazine: I found myself absorbed by Nina Simone's crying in her reimagined cover of "Strange Fruit." I myself cried each time I heard it, then shared it with every friend I came into contact with. Several weeks later, I began to develop this concept communicating how I came about discovering my blackness, waking up from internalized racism, and my rebellion against the limited ideas from my youth. The rebellion in this piece is reflected in my partial nudity, as Dominican ladies in general are bred to be sensual only with their husbands. This piece is a hallmark for how far I've come and still have yet to go, for identifying with my blackness is only the beginning, for an afro-dominicana.
