Darnell L. Moore & Justen Ross talk “revolutionary optimism” and creating a positive mindset in a dark time
In honor of Black History Month, Native Son believes it is important to celebrate our legacy as Black queer men but also to make sure that our community is taken care of in the midst of the chaos and disruption in the world.
We are living in the shadow of racial terror, attacks on the Black and LGBTQ communities, and unprecedented devastation of global warming.
The world is literally on fire. In the spirit of Native Son, we asked intergenerational thought leaders to share their stories of how to “Survive & Thrive” at this time.
The first conversation in this series features Darnell L. Moore, activist and author of No Ashes In the Fire, and Justen Ross, poet, actor, and ballroom activist, who talk about mental wellness, self-care, and how they are protecting their peace in 2025.
