Host Michelle Zacarias sits down with Afro-Latino public historian, social media content creator, and fine art photojournalist Anthony Milian to explore the power of storytelling as resistance.
Anthony shares how the pandemic sparked his pivot from photography to history-focused content, reaching hundreds of thousands with stories that mainstream media has long overlooked. From the complexities of Afro-Latinidad and colorism within the Latino diaspora, to the untold legacies of figures like Rafael Cordero and José Celso Barbosa, Anthony makes the case for why preserving our histories has never been more urgent.
