Okay what is this b👀k?
The book I’m writing is titled HOME OUT THERE. It’s about black queer people leaving home to find home. I weave my own experiences with biographical chapters about three black queer poet ancestors: Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray and Audre Lorde.
We’ve been trying to tell y’all for years.

You support murder.
You support murder.
