Power High Femme

A queer Femme/of color who is in command of her sexuality; a Femme/of color who is hella smart (maybe with a PhD in HisCon or Critical Ethnic Studies): a Femme/of color who is a fierce and kick ass organizer/activist; a Femme/of Color who is committed to decolonizing everything (including sexuality); a Femme/of color in touch with her cultural/racial heritage, ancestry, and relevant politics and practices; a Femme/of Color who knows and embodies a spiritual erotics, because yes, she’s read Audre Lorde’s essay The Uses of the Erotics; a Femme/of Color who has magical sexual healing powers; a Femme/of Color who knows how to play with High Femme Fashion. A Power High Femme possesses and practices all of this.

Dang Girl, You just did a major historical and statue take down of Christopher Columbus; you look so good in your tropical aqua tights while you do decolonial gardening; AND you’re the best lover ever! You are seriously a Power High Femme/of Color!
