[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)
Being a queer fem person of color in the simplest terms means joy to me. For so long I was suppressed into being what society/my parents wanted from me instead of who I am. I am queer and I am overfilled with joy when I’m able to be me. This photo represents queer joy that had to survive an enormous amount of pain to get there.
[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."
A queer person of color showcasing her happiness with a smile for being alive
