Workbook
Black and Queer and Leaving
The Relocation Workbook for People Who Are Invisible in Two Communities at Once
This workbook assesses destinations for Black queer community and safety — not one or the other.
For the person who is both Black and queer and has spent their life navigating queer spaces that center whiteness and Black spaces that erase queerness. For the person evaluating relocation who needs to know if there is a place where they do not have to choose which part of themselves to hide.
The Name It First Experience
A strong LGBTQ+ scene and a Black queer community are not the same destination — this workbook finds the right one. Black and Queer and Leaving walks you through what belonging actually requires for the person navigating queer spaces that center whiteness and Black spaces that erase queerness — and helps you assess destinations where you do not have to choose which part of yourself to hide. It is for the person who is both Black and queer and has spent their life performing a partial self — and who is evaluating relocation as a chance to live somewhere that holds all of who they are. You finish with a documented assessment of destinations where Black queer community exists, safety is real, and belonging is possible on your full terms.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What has it cost you to be in spaces that only see one part of who you are?
- Where have you come closest to feeling seen as your whole self — and what made that possible?
- What does belonging actually look like for you — specifically, in concrete terms?
