I am a human rights defender. I am an activist and I am a black, queer, radical, intersectional feminist. I don’t have a job. I have an initiative that I run that is not an organisation that is funded. In fact, I run it by doing crowdfunding and engaging my networks. I hugely rely on facilitating sessions, doing social media activations or coming up with some digital content for someone.
The story of many queer people is that some of them didn’t even manage to go to school so they don’t have papers. I didn’t either, but I’m winging it. You’ve got to wing life somehow.
Many people are not making money. Many people are relying on other people. Many people have had to come out. They stay by themselves. They are struggling. People are using crazy ways you wouldn’t imagine to survive out here.
