🔁 @racialequityinsights Happy Black History Month, y’all! 😊
As we celebrate the incredible contributions that Black folks have made throughout society in the US (and beyond), let’s make sure that we are acknowledging the full breadth of the Black community, including Black LGBTQ+ folks out there! 🖤 🌈
Don’t forget, if you ain’t pro-Black LGBTQ, pro-Black women, pro-Black disabled, pro-Black folks in the hood, pro-Black folks with disabilities, pro-Black folks in the suburbs, pro-Black folks without degrees, etc, YOU AIN’T PRO-BLACK. ✊🏿
Also, quick nuance/disclaimer: Marsha P. Johnson self-identified as a drag queen during her life. However, I have learned from trans/non-binary folks as well as through some of my own researching that Ms. Johnson likely would have identified as trans if that language and identification had been known during her life, and that she also used she/her pronouns. The “P” in her middle initial stood for “pay it no mind,” which was her response when asked about her gender (so creative and dope). 🙌🏿 FYI!

Happy #Grammys Day! Good luck tonight! 🎶🏆
At age 54, Billy Porter is pushing back harder than ever against hate — especially the type that comes from within. He is an outspoken role model for self-acceptance, something that is reflected in every aspect of his work. “When you are connected spiritually to all the things you embody, that’s where the healing lies,” he believes. Healing is something he talks about a lot. 🤍

“Fashion exists in a really expansive space for me,” says @theebillyporter. “It’s spiritual and political. Every time I show up, I’m a walking piece of activist art.” The star’s efforts to de-gender clothing are nothing short of magnificent. Since breaking the internet in a Christian Siriano tuxedo gown in 2019, every one of his Met Gala and red-carpet appearances has nudged forward the concept of what a man could, and perhaps even should, wear.

On this day in 2008, I was a part of a private industry presentation of “Langston in Harlem.” It was a musical biography using Hughes’ own words along with music by Walter Marks. In honor of that, plus #BHM, plus a reminder to go read some of the brilliant work of Mr. #LangstonHughes!!, plus a reminder to keep dreaming – I’m sharing this poem. ✨✍🏾💭

On set with FASHION, cover star @theebillyporter moves with abandon in front of the camera, alternating sudden spins with balletic stances and graceful arm gestures. There’s a sense of freedom in his self-expression. “I think if I were younger, I would probably identify as non-binary. Because I don’t move through the world ultra-masculine. I don’t move through the world ultra-feminine. I’m just there.” 💥 To read more, head to the link in bio.
