let yourself just be whoever you are

I’m so thrilled that Monstrous Regiment Publishing gave me the opportunity to share my research internationally in both volumes of The Bi-ble, an anthology of personal narratives and essays about bisexuality. My Volume 1 essay “On Being Black and Bi-Furious” aims to fill the gap in research around the intersections of race and bisexuality, as I share my experiences coming to terms being a Black bi woman, and propose structural recommendations for LGBTQ organizations to do better by us. My Volume 2 essay “I still feel like I can’t quite be myself” examines the challenges bi students experience engaging in LGBTQ spaces on college campuses (which in theory should be inclusive of bisexuality, since ya know, that’s what the B is for). Instead, students shared experiences of invisibility, marginalization, and exclusion within these queer spaces, leading to some pretty shitty consequences (internalized biphobia, burnout, etc.) These anthologies include so many awesome essays that are accessible to read from a diverse variety of authors internationally. If you’re interested in purchasing, you can buy Volume 1 or Volume 2 individually, or you can get them both cheaper by purchasing the Big Bi Book Bundle! Support bi writers! 💝💙💜
