Abstract | Ariana discusses her family history with a Panamanian father and black mother, with her and her siblings being classified as Afro-Latino/a(s). She discusses the factors that contributed towards shaping her identity as Afro-Latina: community, family, scholar-hood, and traveling experiences. She shares memories that compare her experiences as being Afro-Latina in the South of the United States and contrasts them to experiences in other parts of the U.S. as well as world. She focuses a significant part of the interview on her experience as a curator in the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum, focusing her exhibit on Latino studies. In her exhibit and research, she uses the museum space to share the stories of Latinos in general. She incorporates and analyzes trends on migration, examines history to make predictions on migration in four specific migration gateways, and shares her findings publicly for free in museum exhibits. |
