Hi, I’m Aja.
I created this space to collect and share the media, ideas, histories, and conversations helping me rethink the world and my place within it as a Black American woman.
I’m interested in the ongoing process of relearning:
history, identity, culture, politics, memory, community, and ways of living that feel more human, intentional, and honest.
This is part archive, part exploration, part reconstruction.
