Contribute to Embracing All of Me

We invite voices that explore identity, contradiction, and becoming, especially from Bi+ people of color and those navigating beyond rigid categories. Pieces do not need to be aspirational or perfect, they just need to be real. We know life is complicated and layered, and our goal is to signal that sometimes the road to joy is complicated and messy. You do not need to be Bi+, queer, or POC to contribute.

What You Can Submit

• Short written pieces like personal reflections or think pieces
• Personal stories
• Poetry or vignettes
• 250-500 words is best

What We’re Looking For

• Reflective and intentional pieces

• Opportunities for readers to feel seen

• Pieces grounded in layered lived experiences

• Pieces that elevate BIPOC and/or Bi+/Queer Perspectives

• Cringey, nuanced, and specific to you (not perfection or scholarly)

• Aligned with the them exploring identity beyond binaries and embracing one’s self

Submissions from 15 years old +. Under 15 requires parental consent.

Note: Pieces can explore any topic: religion, race, sexuality, class, aging, disability, origin stories, relationships, work, or culture, as long as they connect to themes of fragmentation, wholeness, reconciliation, or self-embrace.

AI-assisted pieces are welcome, but your authentic voice should remain at the center.

Prompts for Inspiration

When did you first realize you didn’t fit one category or you were more than one thing?

What binaries do you exist between or on the edge of? What’s it like existing there? What are the stakes? What are the gains?

What part of yourself have you had to reclaim?

What identities, perspectives, or experiences do you have that challenge the status quo?

What does “embracing all of me” mean to you? What reality or truth are you holding or still learning to embrace?
