Come and watch me and my friends perform a night of poetry!!!

Join the Q Summit poets for Into the Q***r-Verse, a free live poetry reading on Thursday, April 7th from 6-8pm!🌈

Covering a range of themes from ancestry & chosen family to fairytales & utopias, and everything Q***r in between, the poets have managed to create pure magic through their journeys on and off the page.

Q Summit is a mentorship arts program for 2SLGBTQ+ youth, led by Melly “Belly” Davidson and Martin “No Mess” Gomes. Under the guidance of these two mentors, 6 participants dedicated their time from October 2021 to develop their poetic voices and spoken word prowess.

All 2SLGBTQ+ supportive folks and allies are welcome to join virtually and bring good energy for this night of performances. You won’t want to miss this! 🔗RSVP here: https://bit.ly/3JCaW1q

A big thank you goes out to Delta Bingo and Gaming St. Clair, Johansen Larsen Foundation and the City of Toronto for supporting this program!

Happy world poetry day!

Here is a poem I wrote about writing a poem.

Image text:
Title: Write With Ninjichaag
Ninjichaag: my spirit within

To write you a poem
Would be to say I love you
In the most intimate language I know
In the most vulnerable language I speak

To write you a poem
Would be to remain present
Staying with you in this moment
From the roots grounding my feet

To write you a poem
Is to sing you a song
And paint you a picture
With the gifts God has given me

To write you a poem
Is to share with you my story
Is to give life meaning
In the most powerful way
In the most beautiful way
I can be

Happy National Coming Out Day!

She asked me for my coming out story
And I laughed
As if there is just one size fits all grandiose moment
I'm here, I'm q***r, and I'm never looking back
I came out to my parents about seventeen times I joke and even then my mom already knew
In fact I can distinctly remember my mom explaining what gay meant when my older sister asked and in her explanation my mom said if she had a gay kid it'd be me
I came out to myself
I came out to every friend I have
I came out to my relatives
I came out to my coworkers
I came out to the internet too
I came out as bi, gay, pan, q***r, genderq***r, and nonbinary
I feel like my understanding of myself keeps on evolving and language keeps on evolving too
And the words I use to describe myself
Change depending on the individual I am describing myself to
Will a cis-het understand all of the q***r jargon, understand an indepth description I can provide them with or is it better to say
You know that LGBTQ community? yup I'm a part of that alphabet soup
By now I know my coming out story is way more nuanced than what the cis-het imagination can allow for
For the longest time I didn't come out per say just acknowledge if asked or casually drop clues
Or mention it in conversation if it happened to come up
Now I just wear a button on my coat that says "be gay" and a couple of pins that say "not a lady" and "not a dude"
And hope my appearance is q***r enough for whoever I may meet so I'm not assumed cis-het until I state otherwise
F**k that please assume I'm q***r af
Even if I haven’t come out to you yet
I gave up the closet long ago
Now everyday I make a choice
To invite people into my home

This past month I've been working on putting together this zine/book about my mental health and mental illness journey for mental health awareness month. Although it is hard to be vulnerable enough to put a project like this out into the world but I believe it is time conversations like this are had. My hope is that people living with mental illness are able to feel less alone in some way and people who aren't living with mental illness are able to learn something. It's the first of many zines that I hope to do. I thought I'd share it with y'all. It deals with some heavy themes including suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, transphobia, q***rphobia and ableism so reader discretion is advised. :) It's pay what you can so everyone can read it for free but if you do feel so inclined you can e-transfer me [email protected] and half of what I get I'm donating to trans lifeline.

Here is the link.
