Anika and Yolande Kwinana are founding members of Arlington for Justice, a nonprofit in Arlington, VA, that bills itself as an organization that works to bring a new era of public safety to the neighborhoods there by seeking reform of Arlington’s criminal justice system. The couple sat down with me virtually and shared what the Arlington for Justice is all about. More than that, though, was the candid portion, where they allowed a peek into the personal side of being married, fighting for justice on numerous fronts, the joys and hardships, tough times, times that were motivating them to get to the point of protesting and raising awareness about injustice, those Daily Border Crossings moments of being othered and the painstaking brunt of that. Yolande gave particularly insightful thoughts through her lens of being Black and an immigrant and what she discovered racially after arriving in the U.S.; Anika shares her experience of wedding planning and being a newlywed -- and keeping both mostly under wraps because...society. You won’t want to miss this as both Anika and Yolande open up about life and all these identifiers that lead to isms and to othering and to feeling like you’re crossing a border to just be.
