I waited four months to read this essay. I kept it in my inbox because I felt that I would need it. I am so grateful I did that and I am so grateful you wrote it. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your reflections, incantations, contradictions, and dreams, Neema. Afropresentism describes what I’ve been holding, navigating, and trying to make sense of. I greatly appreciate your organization of thought and desire. I’m here trying to figure it out as well!

Brazilian here. Açaí is actually from Brazil. It's an Amazonian indigenous fruit. Only If you are divesting from America as the continent that it actually is, then no. hehe :)
