This is what a black queer love looks like.

It was necessary for me to capture the confidence and trust that these women and non-binary persons have among themselves, reassuring our future generations. We are not alone, black queer couple exist. Be proud of who you are!

In this image, two black women are captured in a subtle embrace, their lips meeting tenderly. The stark contrast in the photograph highlights the intensity of their affection, while the cool blue hues serve as a poignant reminder of the gentle love and mutual trust they cherish in their relationship.
