Abstract
"When the giant wave comes washing over our bodies Black people will become mermaids, and indigenoous people will become seeds. What will you become?" Black people's connection to water is both an affirmation of life and a memorial of death. In Christina Sharpe's wake, Black life exists in the liminal space... on the currents left on the tops of water by ships. We have found our freedom in water, and have survived disaster by water. We live where the sea level is rising. Rather than understanding climate change as another form of destruction to Black life, what if we reimagine the middle passage as preparing us for life after the sea level rises and takes back the earth.
