I know you’ve been patiently waiting to see what I submitted for my second-month feature in
Forever With Pride E-Magazine 🌈
And let’s be honest here
me posting things on time? Rare. Mythical, even. Unless I pre-schedule (which happens once every solar eclipse or blue moon), expect delays. But the good stuff? Worth the wait. Or so they say.
This month marks my second feature in what will be a year-long creative partnership with Forever With Pride, an incredible UK-based e-magazine that uplifts LGBTQ+ voices from around the world. The magazine is packed with queer art, poetry, interviews, affirmations, and stories that remind us we’re not alone—ever.

As for this month’s contribution…
Make sure to flip to page 9 to find my new poem:
“Top Surgery” – written in June 2025.
This one’s intimate. Honest. Carved from real memory and reclaimed power.
It’s about transition, relief, and remembering.
These kinds of features mean the world to me but, not just because I get to share my words,
but because trans stories belong in print.
Trans stories deserve celebration, not just survival.
And I’m honored to be one voice among many in a publication doing just that.
Aside from that my core values always go back to simply sharing the voices of minority communities and giving everyone room to be their own voice.
Let me know what you think, and maybe share it with someone who needs to read it or who would enjoy a queer focused e magazine
