Tuere Khanyisa

Tuere Khanyisa is an afrofuturist writer, editor, visual artist and curator of black trans and queer spaces. She is a genderqueer leatherdyke. Her messianic imperative is to serve the black queer and trans community with the radical notion that pursuing pleasure is an affirming, powerful, and reclaimed right of black people’s humanity. She works to demystify understandings of kink, pleasure, and sex positivity by offering people safe containers to explore and encounter them without judgment. Tuere loves writing Black speculative fiction and is the creator and co-organizer of Black Femme Brunch and editor of the Queer Latifah Zine.
