A celebration of (and how to find your own) queer intersectional identity through the lens of media.
In Black. Fat. Femme: Revealing the Power of Visibly Queer Voices (in Media) and Learning to Love Yourself, educator and media critic Dr. Jonathan P. Higgins—aka Doctor Jon Paul—delivers an honest and extraordinary new take on how the author, and other Black Fat Femmes like them, have come to find and understand their identity.
You'll learn about how standing at the intersection of multiple identities, communities, and causes shapes people and how they see the world. You'll also discover how public figures like Andre Leon Talley and Latrice Royale have helped people learn who they are and what is possible in life.
Inside the book:
An examination of the importance of real representation in the media for marginalized people
Discussions of the pioneers who fought so hard to be authentically who they are, both onscreen and off
Explorations of how and why Black Fat Femme people have been left out and erased from LGBTQ+ conversations
Perfect for anyone with an interest in unique voices and truly singular perspectives, Black. Fat. Femme. is a one-of-a-kind book that will help you see the world with entirely new eyes.
