Last year, as incantations of Black Lives Matter and I can t breathe and no justice, no peace reached an apex, ideas of revolution were churning in Kathryn Sabir-Beach s mind.
She a sexually fluid, Muslim woman who also happens to be queer was thinking about Black people and how we re mistreated, murdered, disrespected, disregarded by society as a whole. I wanted to make a space where Black folks and queer people and people who are marginalized genders weren t just included, Sabir-Beach says, I wanted us to exist because of us. Not just including us.
