"In my journey to self-discovery, I struggled to understand the intersection of my differing identities. For a long time, I identified myself with models that didn't resemble me. At 20, I left home and began to discover my womanhood. As I grew into my authentic self, I accepted my queerness. Later in my young adult life I experienced a racial awakening, which allowed me to acknowledge the racism and microaggressions that had affected me throughout my life. I am a black queer woman. Once acknowledging my intersectionality, I discovered a community of black and queer women that I longed for. This project allowed me to celebrate my communities and bring needed representation to a world that lacks it.
This photo project is representing the unity of a black queer couple holding each other through pain and recognition. " See all items with this value - Photo of a silhouette of two people embracing with a red background See all items with this value
