Welcome to AroAces of Color!
This is a blog created by and for asexual and aromantic people of colour, where we can have our own space to discuss sexuality, identity, culture and the intersections of each. We welcome questions, discussions and advice from all ace and aro people of colour, and weāre very open to fandom headcanons, discussions of asexuality/aromanticism in media, and more.Ā
We created this blog to have a space to call our own, and to welcome other POC on the aro and ace spectrum. So if youāre an a-spectrum poc, come join us to connect, ask questions and share ideas! Our mods are all people of colour from a variety of backgrounds and ages.
We welcome all kinds of content! Everything from headcanons, discussions, rants, questions, concerns, and advice from or about ace/aro poc are a-OK. We can also try to provide advice to followers seeking it as best as we can.
Otherwise, our blog will have following guidelines:
This is a discourse-free blog. Ā
This blog will be free of bigotry of any kind, against any race, ethnicity, religion, disability, gender identity or sexuality, etc. No terfs or swerfs allowed.
This blog will prioritise people of colour. While white followers are welcome here, please remember that this space is catered primarily towards aro and ace PoC.
Our topics will be intersectional and inclusive of all aces and aros. Contents here will vary - we hope to discuss political issues, including how our race and our identity intersect with each other, our experiences in regards to family, friends, religion, and maybe even give advice to our readers. We welcome discussion, as long as both sides remain civil. We also welcome ace/aro headcanons about characters of colour, anecdotes, advice, questions and rants. Being from a diverse range of backgrounds, we also hope to provide a variety of perspectives on the topic of asexuality and race.
We also very much welcome content suggestions from our followers, as long as they are within our guidelines.

@kuraihonofullmetaā - Vlad - 17 - She/Her - Quoiromantic Asexual - African-American
Iām Vlad and my pronouns are she/her. I am only weeks away from 18 and I am a possibly non binary quoiromantic asexual, who has some type of attraction to females and female aligned individuals. I am an African-American, living in America. I am a quite boring individual, whose interests include anime, most of the shows on the SyFy channel, Dungeons and Dragons, Harry Potter, most movies from the MCU (except Captain America) and other books/movies/shows of science fiction and fantasy subject matter, so long as it has action in it.

Hello, Iām Sofia a 16 year old who goes by she/her pronouns and I am a cis alloromantic ace ( though things may change, I am still figuring myself but I will always be ace). I am a proud Native American, who was born in San Francisco but is being primarily raised in Houston. I live for memes and nerding out over the things I love such as comics/anime/cartoons,history and medicine. My dream is to one day become a surgeon and to open my own hospital.

Hello, Iām Se-Anubis, a 19 year old Agender Asexual Aromantic Panalterous Black guy. I use he/him or they/them pronouns, but it doesnāt really matter to me. Originally from Louisiana, Iāve lived pretty much everywhere in the Southern US. Big anime fan, but I love most animation, even in America. If you see a HC for a cartoon or book that youāve never heard of, it was probably me, lol.
