Welcome to Un•Veiled.

A new publication for Black people dedicated to healing from anti-Blackness and internalized oppression. — All of 2020 was especially hard to sleep, but the month of November took the cake.

Dear White Travelers, Please Stop Staring At Me

Not only is it rude, but it can make Black women feel unsafe and unwelcome — When I first embarked on a two-and-a-half month adventure across Southeast Asia, I expected the stares.
