An anthology of first-person testimony from 25 narratives that together form a portrait of what it means to be a queer Nigerian woman. The stories cover first love and heartbreak, faith and sexuality, family pressure and gender non-conformity. The book appeared in a country where same-sex relationships are illegal, and it brings together women from a cross-section of class, religion, region and educational background. It was the first anthology of LGBTQ+ women in Nigeria, and it is as much a celebration as a record of hardship.
