    About this ebook

    I used to believe that hiding behind my pain would make it go away. For years, I brushed off my parents' divorce with a mere: "It-doesn't-really-bother-me" reaction, as I rationalized my abandonment in justifying "they did what they had to do." But I didn't want to admit that I never felt whole or grounded because of their separation.

      Turning Black Queer Rage Into Black Queer Joy

      Oct 1, 2021

      I have never been comfortable setting a place at the table for my anger. I always invited passion and excitement in and tolerated anxiety at the time, believing it was a by-product of my two favourite guests. But where was contentment, calm and joy?
