Glitch in the Matrix
From Black History to Black Our Story Despite the fuss and confusion, Black queer people are often the “glitch in the matrix” that people are praying for!
February is Black History Month, when we unite in recognizing and honoring the abundance of Black history and achievements. While it is important to continue recognizing the contributions of Black individuals throughout time, this is also an opportunity to expand our perspective and envision a future where we celebrate Blackness in its entirety, including the significant contributions of the LGBTQ+ community — or Black queer people — within the larger context of our shared human experience.
As we continue this global celebration, I offer these words of empowerment (consider them food for reflection and conscious expansion).
This is intended for Black queer people; however, everyone can eat. It is time we update the telling of Black Excellence. Whose story is it anyway?
