Content

Sometimes, all you need to feel supported and continue to thrive, are the words from those that understand the path you were born into.

If you had the opportunity to address the person that changed your world for the better as you grew confidently into your beautiful Queer and Black identity, what would you write? What would you say to the person whose existence helped you develop into your authentic self or to the person that unknowingly helped you understand the meaning of “it gets better”?


In a time where long workdays and innumerable demands find us more and more isolated from each other, community care is both a revolutionary and a healing tool. There is unlimited power in supporting and nourishing those whom we share our roots, history, and identities with.


With this in mind, the unique and intimate letters in this book are a declaration of unapologetic love from Black writers who are femme, queer and/or disabled that have taken up a movement with the intentional purpose of supporting and uplifting the identities, bodies, and shared understandings of our community across the diaspora. This book is a declaration of love , light, friendship, and community that reminds us we are valid; that our stories matter; and most importantly, we are here to stay as we continue to slay our way into the future our ancestors dreamed of.

In this volume, it was erroneously omitted in the title and in the introduction that there are not only authors who position themselves as queer but also allies who stand in solidarity with queer people.
