Like Wayward Son, this was an impulse buy, but a delicious one, Mahalia’s story is one that is full of life, that challenges and heart ache she feels feel real, I found myself right alongside her in those moments.
To have a person of colour’s queer story is also powerful – middle-class gay white men like me experience our queerness from a starting point of privilege – Mahalia’s experience of queerness starts in a very different place, and we need to hear these stories, amplify these stories, if we are ever going to make the world a better place.
