A BEAUTIFUL RESISTANCE
People used to say Jaeâda Turner was stuck in Boston.
Because Black folk from outside of the city often see it as a place to pass through but not plant roots. Those people are not from here.
Turner isnât trapped. Sheâs at home.
âHaving to defend Boston is a real sport,â Turner says. âAs a student at Northeastern, people coming from New York, California, and all across the country, I think they honestly love to hate Boston. Itâs like a little club. Itâs not cool if you say youâre from Boston.â
