On Tuesday, March 7th, we welcome author Matthew Anthony, Afro-Surrealist theopoet, essayist, adoptee, and host of The Little Did U Know podcast, as he reads powerful material centering the voices of impacted people, while challenging the listener to examine the humanity of existing systems related to adoption and race.
Having been displaced from their family as infants via closed private transnational adoption, the bodies of Matthew and his twin were purchased, & trafficked into a sundown town. Matthew’s work is rooted in a lovegrief which persists and is wholly interested and invested in co-creating Black (Adoptee) Futures wherein we are not under siege by those who claim Whiteness. Matthew Anthony is an Afro-Surrealist theopoet , essayist, & host of little did u know: an abolitionist podcast that seeks to reveal the precarity inherent in transnational/racial adoption and dream of a new future by centering the voices of impacted people.
