This book is quite short, comparable to an extended zine or graphic novella. However, the author shares a lot about her own experiences in higher education, learning about what it means to be queer, familial relationships, and how race placed a role in shaping her coming-of-age experience. A strong book to add to a library collection.

Great book and images! I'm apart of the queer community but am not BIPOC. This is a great quick educational read that expanded my view on how society treats the bipoc queer community and think it would be beneficial if more people read it as an entry way to learn more.

I really enjoyed this short graphic essay/memoir about Sharon’s journey to decolonize gender and sexuality to come late into queerness. A visual delight and something that gives me much more to think about and research!

Because this is so short, it often reminded me more of an in-depth essay than a graphic memoir–that’s not a complaint! It’s packed full of memes, diagrams, and other visuals that I’m familiar with on the internet than I am in books.

This is a quick read, but it’s insightful and thought-provoking. My only complaint is that I would have gladly read a version of this book twice or three times as long!

Full review is at the Lesbrary.

lovely, had a zine feel and great introduction for someone first exploring their queerness + intersectionality

This was interesting as a brief overview on queerness, some smattering of historical racism, and a memoir on figuring out self-identity.
