Black in Environment
To be Black in the Environment is to rightly claim space within our landscapes and seascapes. It is to be present and visual in a space that often seen as incompatible with Black identity. So let’s claim our birth right, let’s stake our claim in the caretaking of our planet and not be silent.
Queer in Nature
There is no doubt that Queeribbean people have taken active roles in environmental stewardship and conservation in their islands. Participating fully while residing in islands where queerphobia is rampant is fraught with complications and prevents Queer folx from fully being themselves. Conversely, nature provides an avenue for nature-based spirituality and many Queer folx have discovered or re-discovered their love for their environment. We would love to hear how you navigate and explore the environment. We would also welcome descriptions of your nature-based spiritual practicies. Feel free to include pictures to accompany your submission!
