My Vulnerability Could be My Strength

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to find my childhood mentor, Dr Dominic Brewer. As a young boy he provided me a view of masculinity that was both tender, and caring. He told me that my vulnerability could be my strength. Because of him, I have maintained relationships in Queer community throughout my life. It is my community. You are my sibs, across the gender spectrum, and I love you. In the body I am in, it is both my responsibility to use my unearned and undeserved gender privilege to elevate your platform. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for embracing me. Thank you for loving me. I am honored to participate in the 2019 #NOH8 Campaign.
