Defining Afro-Latinx Identities

Afro-Latinx (or Afro-Latino, -Latina, or -Latine) folks are people who identify their ethnicity as Latino and their race as Black. There are millions of descendants of the African diaspora who make up Latin American and Latinx communities. For Afro-Latinx folks living in the United States, the added identity of being an American further complicates their sense of identity, often creating the sense that their distinct racial, ethnic, and national identities struggle to coexist.
