According to Buzzfeed, Black Muslims have been celebrating Eid with the same hashtag, #BlackoutEid, since 2016. The tradition started when social media users made a statement against Snapchat, the platform which was accused of not sharing photos of Black Muslims on their official Eid story.
When the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, most posted photos from their homes. Many are still showing their beauty from their homes, but others are also celebrating with relatives and venturing outside to celebrate with their community.
Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing. 🌙🕌🐏😇🎉#sunjatobaski220 #BlackoutEid #tobaski2021 #gambia pic.twitter.com/yaYb0gE3si
