Meta’s Policy Shift: What It Means for the Black Community Through the Lens of Interest-Convergence Theory

Posted on by Adriane

As Meta restructures its approach to content moderation—ending third-party fact-checking, relaxing restrictions on sensitive topics, and reintroducing political content—the ripple effects will be deeply felt across marginalized communities, particularly the Black community. Through the lens of Derrick Bell’s Interest-Convergence Theory, we must ask: Are these changes truly about free speech, or are they about free profit?

While platforms like Meta evolve, Black-owned alternatives such as Fanbase and Spill are rising as safe havens for authentic digital expression and community-building. In this new digital landscape, vigilance, media literacy, and support for independent platforms will be key to ensuring our stories remain heard and our voices amplified.

Stay informed. Stay engaged. Because silence is not an option.

The Adriane Perspective Review: Six Triple Eight

Posted on by Adriane

The Six Triple Eight is not just a story about delivering mail—it is about delivering hope in the face of impossible odds. These women, led by Major Charity Adams, faced racism, sexism, and the relentless pressures of war, yet they cleared a 17-million-letter backlog in just 90 days. Their achievement was not merely logistical; it was profoundly human. Each letter represented a heartbeat, a connection, a reminder that someone cared.

Today, their legacy serves as both an inspiration and a blueprint. Black women in America continue to shoulder unseen burdens, break barriers, and lead movements—often without the recognition they deserve. The Six Triple Eight reminds us that the work done behind the scenes is just as vital as the work done in the spotlight.

Well done, Tyler Perry.

Please keep movies like this in production.

These women were the 92% who achieved their goal in just 90 days.

They are the blueprint.
