Description

Numb is my journey to describe the feeling by most Black, Indigenous and Brown people experience while trying to find their humanity in the midst of a global traumatic experience. The devastation of losing loved ones to this virus was the equalizer in regards to humanity's losses though it still couldn't humanize the grief, loss, tears and the misery that was being felt by Black, Indigenous and Brown people even as they lost loved ones to COVID. Our racialized bodies within the worldwide lens were the low-hanging fruit for white privilege challenged by the feelings of anger, resentment and rage due to the inconvenience of the pandemic, quarantines and the safeguards. Our bodies were collateral damage for the fragility of white rage which had nowhere to hide under the ever-present eye of social media. So this feeling of numbness slowly seeped in along with capitalist organizations and society doing the perfunctory proof that they are not racist in ads and in social media campaigns. Numb, we stitch ourselves back together holding on to mere threads of ourselves while we navigate anti-black and systemic racism in the time of COVID.
