Historically, the narratives of Queer women of color have been underrepresented by the dominant culture. This blog will hopefully voice the narratives of Queer women of color, my blog cannot reach all Queer women of color because as people often do. I put myself into my work. A lot of the blogging I do is more Latina centered which embraces a “borderland consciousness”. This consciousness was first introduced by Chicana feminist writer Gloria E. Anzaldúa as a notion of existing in the ‘in between’. In other words, that third space allows us queers to embrace our existing complex intersecting identities. The Mestiza consciousness as a theory can also be applied to the experiences and narratives that Queer/women of color experience being internal exiles. The main purpose of this blog is to share the knowledge and experiences with other Queer women of color, in order to theoretically queer the hetero-normative cyber space.
