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.
