You may have seen Juliana Pache’s crossword puzzles, which place emphasis on terms and clues from across the Black diaspora, on Baltimore Beat’s website or in the physical paper.
We first came across Pache and her work when Rolling Stone wrote about her last summer.
“For this project, I don’t have or want to think about how anyone else [outside of Blackness] responds or receives it,” she told the magazine. “That doesn’t mean it’s inaccessible. Everyone is welcome to play this puzzle, but this puzzle is made with Black people in mind.”
That way of thinking syncs perfectly with my reasons for starting Baltimore Beat. There are so few places in this world that treat the brilliance, culture, and art of Blackness with the dignity it deserves. Black communities are often thought of last.
The event is on October 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Stem & Vine. Special thanks to our sponsors at Hotel Revival.

Black Crossword was founded in January 2023 by, a first-generation Afro-Caribbean American whose passion for Black diasporic legacies were developed while working at her local library in her teens, where she delved into rich and complex historical texts. This passion continued during her undergraduate studies at Temple University, where she worked at her college library. After obtaining a B.A. in Media Studies and Production, she worked in marketing and media, most notably at Rolling Stone, VICE, and The FADER.
