Living in not-so-great neighborhoods in South Africa as a Black queer woman opens one up to severe homophobia that often leaves one traumatized.

I decided instead of acting out in public and fighting with everyone who hurts me, I should put a pen to paper and write a script about the kind of world I would ideally want to live in as a Black queer woman.

So, I decided to create a reality where women are the ones with power, specifically Black queer women, to truly make people see us differently and to inspire unity and power within our LGBT community.

Because of these femicide rates and Black queer deaths, all at the hands of Black men, and my anger at how I was experiencing homophobia almost daily from both men and women, I was become increasingly agitated and triggered by how people were not understanding my reality and how hurtful it is to experience such psychological abuse almost daily.

Black queer women deserve all the love in the world.
