True black liberation requires the inclusion and elevation of all black lives, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.

“we cannot tell parts of the story and I think that's part of the challenge that we've had in it not only in this country but in our society as a whole is that we very much pick and choose which parts of the story want to tell and whose parts of the story we want to elevate”

The pursuit of black liberation must be inclusive of the LGBTQ+ community and requires acknowledging and dismantling one's own privilege.

“I can say as a black man I've enjoyed the privilege of not knowing much about the Stonewall demonstrations not knowing much or lending my voice of perspective to or using my privilege for the Advancement of black trans or black queer rights or equality”
