This is what a unapologetic black lesbian looks like
[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)
This is what being unapologetically black lesbians means to me, to have moments of comfort, safety, and abundance of carefree love for one another in a world that has held onto the message that black queer lesbian women are not seen, heard, loved or wanted. Black lesbians belong. Black lesbians are worthy of safe and comforting love. Black lesbians deserve to be seen and represented always.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
Two women sitting on a bench smiling at one another, surrounded by large plants.
