So I’m not going to pretend that the publishing industry is my community, because I know painfully well it’s not. My community is a very small circle of people and entities. The community I serve are Black trans and queer people and the primary way I serve is through my work.
The farce that ‘we’re all in this together’ is often what’s used to extract labor in the name of ‘community’ and y’all won’t like me for not playing along, but I’ma put out these books either way because that’s why God bagged me into this body. I show up for the work.pic.twitter.com/bRTFJ80bjK
I’m not even here, baby, I’m a hallucination.
Honestly, cis people should just stop and think about what you’ve done for Black trans people before hitting up my agents with asks. There is no forgetting. I’m a Nigerian Gemini with a Scorpio rising, and I’m not even human. Park well.
Whew, to this day seeing you give that talk before Freshwater dropped has been one of the most significant moments I’ve had in terms of understanding who I am and why I am here.
Thank you for creating anyway! You radiate beauty and the way you use language and craft stories is so powerful. I’ve loved all 3 of your books. Will always buy and share your work with others.
