Too Black, Too Queer

By: Mara Fabrizio Andray Harrison
  • Summary

  • Welcome to "Too Black, Too Queer.' Dray and Mara discuss personal experiences with anti-Black racism, homophobia, and transphobia. These experiences have brought us together, and have allowed us to educate each other. Now we want to invite others to be moved to educate themselves and to be better and do better by Black and queer folks. Content warning: we will discuss cultural violence, with mentions of death, suicide, mental illness, surgery, and other phenomena that can make folks very uncomfortable. We also use gallows humour--which we think is hilarious!--to cope with the daily struggles as humans on the margins.
