Intersectionality
She was
A lot of things
She was
Proud
She was
Black
She was
Queer
She was
A Woman
All
As she defined it.
No one could tell her
She didn’t fit here
Or
She didn’t belong there
Because
She was
Herself
In June
July
And August-
She was
Herself
All year round.
A Queen
Through and through
A person of faith
Someone who knew
Who they were
And encouraged others
To walk this earth
As themselves
As well.
