Optioned for television by Gabrielle Union!
In a series of
personal essays, prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist George M.
Johnson explores his childhood, adolescence, and college years in New
Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked
out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving
grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult
memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer
boys.
Both a primer for
teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young
queer men of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender
identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural
marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank
style of writing will appeal directly to young adults.
