Auntie Jemmie

An irreverent exploration of cancel culture through the satirical lens of a mainstay iconic archetype.

Trigger Warning: The "N" word is used in this piece.

While I, personally, understand the reclamation of the word in Black culture, I never want to disregard the the non-monolithic nature of the Black community. As such, I want to approach my use of the word in a way that does not allow this this historically weighted word to cause any additional harm. Protect yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually as you see fit.

All love,
Kacie Rogers
