This is a beautiful memoir that is a testament to both queer joy and what it means to have a supportive family. It brings to the conversation the intersection of Blackness and gender identity and how those two are often not looked at in the same conversations. There is no sugar coating here and the author is very honest in what life for a Black queer person looks like. His refusal to put himself in a specific gender box also provides representation to queer kids and teens that gender is indeed a spectrum and labels aren't always necessary.
