It's Black. It's Native. It's immigrant. It's queer. It's radical. It's not just coal and cornbread. It’s labor and love, loss and protest, memory and motion. It’s not a museum of poverty, it’s a living, breathing, evolving region filled with complexity, contradiction, and brilliance. So welcome to Embracing Appalachia. This is where we begin again. The stories that got buried? We’re digging them up. The voices that were ignored? We’re turning up the volume. The Appalachia we were told to be ashamed of? We’re loving it back loudly, critically, honestly and without apology.
If you are or know someone who is a Black Appalachian, better known as Afrilachian, the Black Appalachian Coalition wants to hear from you! Project information and how to submit your stories please go to: https:// iamappalachia.org
