Trust in These Words”
Under the umbrella of what Brittney Cooper calls “progressive feminist visions,” this article reads Solange’s 2017 essay (“A Letter to My Teenage Self”) and her 2016 album ( A Seat at the Table ) as part of a Black feminist agenda to unfetter and embolden Black women to affirm their voices, visions, and knowledge(s). In doing this work, Solange makes visible how said voices, visions, and knowledge(s) are not only meaningful but also transformativ…
Introduction Quotidian Futures
At the 2022 Essence Awards actor and Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis wore a red Dolce & Gabbana suit with the word “Queer” written in rhinestones on her left arm. In the article “‘King Richard’ Star Aunjanue Ellis on Her Unapologetic Black and Bisexual Pride,” Ellis chronicles her invisibility as a Black queer woman. She shares that “people fail to recognize [that] she's part of the LGBTQ community,” perhaps because of her age (53) and/or her geogra…
Pushed into Consciousness
This essay reflects on Laurie Lambert's study Comrade Sister: Caribbean Feminist Revisions of the Grenada Revolution (2020), which investigates contemporary Caribbean literary reimaginings of the Grenadian Revolution and makes visible how that history impacts Grenada today. Comrade Sister asks readers to wrestle with historical ghosts and uncomfortable truths that undergird liberation movements, including Grenada's. For Lambert, those ghosts mani…

This article explores Canada’s first Black women’s newspaper, Our Lives, as part of a Black, feminist, scribal activism tradition in Canada. Through the trope of intimacy, this article investigates the counter-narratives found in Our Lives and employs them as a means to gain…
Queer potentialities and queering home in Shani Mootoo's Cereus Blooms at Night
This article employs queer potentiality as a reading strategy to unpack the ways in which Shani Mootoo's Cereus Blooms at Night adroitly brings forth queer voices and visions on home and belonging that have been rejected, erased, or ignored. More precisely, through the juxtaposition of Gully Queen, a real-life transgender Jamaican woman, and Tyler and Otoh, Mootoo's transgender protagonists, I demonstrate how these gender non-conforming bodies us…
Accessing Pan-African Feminist Humanism
This essay places the poetry of Una Marson (Jamaica) in conversation with that of Dionne Brand (Trinidad and Tobago) in order to revisit and explore the importance of Pan-Africanism in the Caribbean imagination. More precisely, it examines the role of Pan-African feminist humanisms in Caribbean women’s poetry as a means to demonstrate how the creative can bring forth a different understanding and a rearticulation of subjectivity, discourse, belon…
