Coloured by tongue. Queer by heart. š³ļøāš
For years I cut pieces of myself off to survive.

For my queers, my misfits, my coloured kids who grew up in rooms that couldnāt stand their light, this is for you.
If my words find you, follow along. I have more to say.

@kaylakimkay really said something important here.
Inclusivity cannot only exist when itās profitable, aesthetically pleasing, or easy to market. Some of us have spent our whole lives never fully seeing ourselves reflected in the spaces we belong in too.
And the thing isā¦ people like us still exist anyway. Loudly. Authentically. Unapologetically.
This conversation matters.
