@IansaMagazine
Through creative, transformative stories, we seek to connect the African diaspora via emergent youth cultures, music, art, fashion, and Black Radical Tradition.
We are Iansá Magazine, a collective of members of the African diaspora focused on connecting the rest of the African diaspora through stories via the emergent youth culture, music, art, fashion, the emergent youth culture, and the Black radical tradition. iansamag.com

My father, Kevin, and his older brother, Danny, embraced Black Nationalism and incorporated it into their identities and spiritual lives early on. While my father (who is now an atheist) chose Islam, my uncle chose Rastafari. As I’ve grown older, I have come to understand that…
PSA: Because we are a newly founded digital magazine, we would like to inform you all that we do not have the resources to compensate for any pieces contributed to the magazine. As we grow, we hope to be able to compensate all guest contributors. 💕💕💕
We love these reflections. 💕
Everyone talks about the art we need instead of making it — this concerns me because creating a new political reality and sharing your art requires the same kind of courage and commitment. Will you be brave or let fear own you? Time is finite, all you have is now. Create.
Huge thanks to @routledgebooks for the Review Copy! 💕 Look forward to a Review within the forseeable future! 💌
Iansá is looking for 💕 NEW IDEAS 💕 for upcoming articles/media. Do you have any ideas about what you want to see in the Magazine? Share them either in the replies or DM us! 💌
We at Iansá think Afeni is awesome. That is all.
I am from here so I fight here. This imperial core this is actively destroying the rest of the world, incarcerating Black people, bombing Black countries and unlike your KEWN ASS, I love Black people, so I fight HERE.
