What happens when three bisexual Black people enter the same room — not to defend their existence, but to imagine what’s next?
During a recent episode of my podcast, Embracing All of Me, I sat down with Chizu, an animator, and Zoomy, a sex-educator. We came together to talk about myths — biphobia, the “DL” narrative, the politics of being “too fluid.” But what unfolded was something else entirely…
It felt like a strategy meeting, but for the soul.
No hierarchy. No research. No stats. No experts and students. Just three people from very different backgrounds comparing notes on a shared identity, holding mirrors, and realizing that leadership can look like collective self-study.
What struck me wasn’t just what we necessarily said, it was how we said it. With laughter. With care. Some parts of the conversation almost felt meditative. With the ease of people who have spent a lifetime editing themselves to make it through the day, finally exhaling in unison and in laughter.
We weren’t debating identity.
We were imagining a future.
One built on curiosity, not compliance.
On nuance, not neatness.
One that required love for ourselves, each other, and the next generation who’ll inherit our language.
If you’ve ever wondered what resilience sounds like when it stops performing and starts teaching, listen to this conversation.
