When you see me, accept me whole as I am, do not denounce any part of me.When I stand in front of a camera - full of strength and grace – see me as I am, a Black, African, Queer, Fat & Femme. I am and continue to be someone who respects everyone and expects it, but my reality is the opposite. My blackness is aspirational. I am the change I want to see in this world. I want the same for those who are underrepresented and marginalised- Black Trans, Queer, Disabled people. This image of me represents black joy. So, let us come together, learn to use it for good together and share it. -Enam Asiama
