Welcome to the Official Website of Laysi Zacarias
This website is a part of my commitment to democratizing access to academic knowledge, amplifying Black perspectives, and fostering collective resistance. It serves as a central hub to share my research, collaborations, and efforts toward creating spaces of liberation
Through this platform, I aim to build bridges between academia, activism, and community, supporting the work of imagining and constructing futures beyond antiblackness. It is a space where ideas intersect with action, advancing the radical possibilities of Black existence.

Why This Site?
This website is a tool for disseminating knowledge and fostering dialogue, grounded in the principles of accessibility and collective liberation. It supports my broader efforts to create Black free spaces—physical and intellectual sanctuaries that resist colonial legacies and celebrate Black radical traditions.
Join me in envisioning futures unbound by the structures of colonial modernity. Together, we can build pathways for collective liberation, memory, and imagination.
