I’ve been wanting to get back into blogging for a while now, but I wasn’t sure what to write about. I will start by saying I am extremely thankful I studied Film & Media. I like to think that everyone has a path in this life, set by the Universe, God, the Powers That Be, whatever. There were times when I didn’t understand my path in the moment, but looking back I was on the right path at the right time.
I hated that I took time off from school after a semester of college. My high school friends were graduating college at 22 and I was just going back to college. However, I might not have met the wonderful professors and taken the courses I did had I finished at 22 rather than 27. I also learned so much about myself through my college courses.
One of my last classes was a LGBT TV course. One assignment asked us to write about three things that define us, identity wise, and three shows that represented or helped us realize that. My three identifiers were: gay, black and geek. I wrote about how I always felt I had to keep the three separate. In some ways, I still feel that way, but I want this blog to find a way to mesh all three. The beautiful thing about writing is everyone has a voice and unique perspective. I’d like to show you mine.
I have so many opinions on games, movies and TV shows, but I also have a lot to say about what it means to be gay, what it means to be black and what it means to be gay AND black. So, welcome to me!
