Cole) and a participant from the Brown Boi Project (BBP!) in the next episode of Kitchen Table Conversations!    + BKLYN BOIHOOD is a collective that provides visibility and promotes the empowerment of masculine of center* bois, lesbians, queers, trans-identified, studs, doms, butches and AGs of color. They've been building bridges of self-love, community awareness and personal enhancement from their basement in Bed Stuy to communities across the country, crossing the barriers of gender, race, class, age, and sexual preference. http://www.bklynboihood.com/   + The BROWN BOI PROJECT is a community of masculine of center womyn, men, two-spirit people, transmen, and allies committed to transforming the privilege of masculinity, gender, and race into tools for achieving Racial and Gender Justice. Founder, B. Cole, coined the term Masculine of Center in 2008, which is a term that recognizes the breadth and depth of identity for lesbian/queer/ womyn who tilt toward the masculine side of the gender scale and includes a wide range of identities such as butch, stud, aggressive/AG, dom, macha, etc. http://brownboiproject.org/   So tune in to hear us pow wow about everything from the masculine of center / brown boi movement that's been taking over nation, gender binaries, sexism in the queer people of color community, their awesome blog (to which I'm going to be regularly contributing), and... (you know it's coming)... dating, dating, dating!
