“For Black people, that is our normal life. Whenever there’s a protest and everyone goes back to work, people are just like, ‘Guys, that was so crazy,’ and you’re like … that is literally normal life,” says Patia Borja
Patia Borja, the force behind the viral page @patiasfantasyworld, has always been candid. Since launching her account in 2017, she has used it to post tongue-in-cheek memes, razor-sharp observations about Black culture and identity, and an activist agenda that counters the scores of superficial platitudes on social media. In May of this year, Patia’s follower count climbed to 140,000 — a feat that likely had everything to do with her unerring pulse on both humor and humanity.
During an Instagram Live chat with the Cut’s fashion assistant Devine Blacksher, Patia opened up about the trajectory of her career, shared her thoughts about how companies are reckoning with infrastructures that have traditionally undermined their Black employees, and explained her comprehensive community database, which serves as a resource for people to understand and help dismantle systemic racism.
To hear more from Patia Borja on how she cultivated her personal and professional identity, the inherent bond she feels within the Black community — “We lift each other up. I could talk to a random Black person on the street and feel better in 30 seconds, and that’s something I think is beautiful” — and some of her go-to resources, watch the full video now, both above and on Instagram.
