Rainbow Revelations: A Journey into Understanding
The day I truly understood the power of representation was the day my world exploded into a spectrum of colors I never knew existed. It started with a book – a simple novel picked up on a whim, its cover adorned with a rainbow flag. Little did I know that within those pages lay a journey that would transform not just my understanding, but my very soul.

We Must See it to Believe It.
As a Writer, Author, Poet and World-Shifter, I look to the giants of the past to pave my runway. James Baldwin is an icon not only for his contributions to the literary world but for his unapologetic and radical acceptance of himself. When I reflect on why representation of LGBTQ+ trail blazers matters, he is the first icon that comes to mind.

I wandered alone for a long time, In a world of black and white. I felt like a splash of color, not belonging. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

I am not broken and I am NOT alone….
It has been difficult for me who I am and who I was in years, especially that I’m still living in the conservative area- very challenging.

Is Feminity In Male Natural?
Ask yourself these questions before reading further! You discovered one of your siblings, children, relatives or family member always act feminin. Would you because of that hate the person? hurt the person or kill the person because of feminism? The same way you love them, kindly spread the love to the ones you're not blood realated with and protect them.

Playing Myself. Runner-up in Represented Challenge.
Queer representation existed when I was growing up, but it was limited. Only certain sexualities, presented in a certain light.

Thank You, Sailor Moon. Runner-up in Represented Challenge.
When Sailor Uranus, a tall, cute blonde girl who wore suits and drove fast cars like a badass, strut onto my television screen for the first time, twelve-year-old me immediately had a new favorite Sailor Moon character.

To All The Canadian Lesbian Vampires
I´ve struggled my whole life to fit my little puzzle piece into the grand scheme of things. Belonging was a half-hazardly-hatched dream that often led to more frustration than anything really concrete. It´s not that I didn´t have friends, but they were spread out. It´s not that I didn´t have family, they were just on the other side of the world.
