I don’t really expect folks to be all that interested in my opinion about things, but there’s something about expressing my opinions and making them public that excites me. Perhaps I’m a bit of a voyeur and assume that lots of other people out there are as well. I suppose this makes me an exhibitionist, of sorts. Once the semester ends I will post blogs regularly on all things related to me being a happy, queer, black woman (HQBW) who also happens to be a divorced mother of one in a same-sex partnership. Also, I’m sure I won’t be able to resist relating my experiences as a HQBW to my professional interests and my fascination with popular culture and media. I’m particularly interested in sharing my stories with other HQBWs and hearing from my fellow HQBWs. Of course, friends of HQBWs are welcome too. In fact, you don’t have to be happy, queer, black, or a woman to appreciate my stories and opinions. I’m not interested in promoting an “It’s a HBQW thang, you wouldn’t understand” attitude or agenda. I’m fully aware that not everyone will get my perspective, but the exhibitionist in me can’t resist sharing it.
“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.” -Audre Lorde
