Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement or answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..."
Being a queer fem person of color in the simplest terms means joy to me. For so long I was suppressed into being what society/my parents wanted from me instead of who I am. I am queer and I am overfilled with joy when I’m able to be me. This photo represents queer joy that had to survive an enormous amount of pain to get there.
Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text for future visitors to this website. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags and a vibrant crowd celebrating LGBTQ+ pride."
