** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

Of Lineages and Legacies

This week’s Race + Power newsletter highlights the work people of color must do to imagine liberatory identities, and how often that is linked to piecing together our legacy.

We feature our new Women of Color in Power podcast with Luana Morales, who is a living example of someone who is recovering an interrupted lineage as a Birth, Death, and Ancestral Healing Arts Practitioner.

There’s also a video excerpt from an Edge Leadership event led by Dr. Nicholas Harvey, a policy thinker. He interviewed his former history professor, Dr. Dorothy Yancey, a civil rights activist, about the lines between that movement era and our current one—and the importance of knowing that history.

There’s a link to NPQ contributor Mistinguette Smith’s USA Today opinion column on why she stopped using the term “BIPOC.” She tells us what we gain by reclaiming “people of color”—namely, the connective tissue between the various lineages and movements against white supremacy. Finally, there’s a link to Letras Boricuas Fellowship, a new fellowship for Puerto Rican writers on the island and in the diaspora that seeks to nurture an under-resourced literary lineage.

Letras Boricuas Fellowship ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Flamboyan Foundation’s Arts Fund yesterday announced the establishment of the Letras Boricuas Fellowship ([link removed]) —a fellowship aimed at supporting exemplary emerging and established Puerto Rican writers of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and children’s literature, both in Puerto Rico and from across the diaspora in the United States. Created to help nurture the continuation of Puerto Rico’s rich and often under-resourced literary lineage, the fellowship will provide thirty writers with an unrestricted grant of $25,000 each. The first cohort of fifteen writers will be announced in November 2021. Fellows from both cohorts will be invited to a gathering in San Juan, Puerto Rico—tentatively scheduled for Spring 2023—to meet, share their work, and discuss their process and fellowship experiences.
