Older Black gay men in long term relationships are rarely covered or seen by main stream media.

I’m currently working on a new comic.

I’m currently working on a new comic. This is one scene from the story. The title is Too Quiet to Be Loved. And This is same gender love story.

It’s being released early in Japan, but I plan to post the full episodes here on Tumblr once all the pages are finished.

Please look forward to it! (I really hope there’s someone out there who look forward to it…please please 😭)

2022 AfroPunk

PHOTOS BY EMMANUEL AGBEBLE

I was listening to NPR this morning and they had mentioned the AI driven app PimEyes which I had used previously to find photos of myself that are on the internet that I am aware of but don't have copies of. I found about ten more photos from last year's AfroPunk that I attended with my niece on her birthday week. I still marvel at my look which was literally put together right before we left the house that day utilizing things I had purchased just that morning.

it’s pride month which means it’s time to push my silly sapphic flag design again

women loving women! femme loving femme! self-proclaimed sapphics far and wide! please feel free to use it :)

i have complete love and respect for the current iteration, but (very personally) the colours were a bit noisy to me and i wanted to simplify it further and harmonize the colours :)

here was my thought process behind the symbolism:

Black men loving Black men is the revolutionary act. - Essex Hemphill

This statement is power-filled. Black men loving Black men encompasses all relations, from brother/platonic to romantic. Love stops us from hurting and killing ourselves and each other.

Lesbians who use “he/him” pronouns

Lesbians who use neopronouns

Lesbians who use micro-labels

Lesbians who have no real connections to womanhood

Transgender lesbians who haven’t had any surgeries

Transgender lesbians who are accused of being predatory men

Black lesbians who don’t want white people calling themselves “studs”

Non-white lesbians who face racism from their own community

Plus-sized who face fatphobia from their own community

Working-class lesbians who face classism from their community

Disabled lesbians who face ableism from their own community

Lesbians who don’t support radical feminism

Lesbians who don’t go out to bars

Lesbians who are still learning about their own history

Lesbians who do sex work

Lesbians who use the Split Attraction Model

Lesbians who aren't strictly homosexual but still experience attraction to women far more often than they experience attraction to men

Lesbians who identified as something else before figuring things out

Lesbians who were adamant about their heterosexuality before coming out

Lesbians who are still in the closet

Lesbians who are afraid to come out even to other lesbians

Lesbians who’ve slept with men in the past

Lesbians who sleep with men for survival

Lesbians who don’t like being touched in bed

Lesbians who haven’t slept with another woman yet

Lesbians who’ve never slept with another person at all

Lesbians who don’t want to pursue relationships

And lesbians who fearlessly go against prevailing views of the LGBT community!
