Bi+ Book Club Reading for March 7

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 

The Bi+ Book Club reading for March will be "For Sizakele" by Yvonne Fly Onakeme Etaghene.

Taylor, a queer Nigerian college student, is in a passionate relationship with Lee, a black American basketball-playing pianist. When Taylor develops romantic feelings for Sy, a Cameroonian photographer whose similarities make them instant family, Taylor battles Lee’s jealousy. As Taylor encounters challenges to her femme and African identities, she finds ways, through the kinship of her friends, to define herself on her own terms. For Sizakele addresses transcontinental identity, intimate partner violence, queer gender and how we love as illuminators of who we are.
​

BOP's Bi+ Book Club meets the first Wednesday of the month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Quatrefoil Library, 1220 E Lake Street Minnepolis, which is on the 21 bus line. The meeting for this reading will be March 7. Book copies are available in the Hennepin, Ramsey or St Paul county libraries or at local and online bookstores. For more information, email:  cary.crawford@bisexualorganizingproject.org

    BECAUSE

    BECAUSE 2020

    BECAUSE 2020 Cancelled
    The BECAUSE leadership team and the BOP board have been reviewing forecasts for what this Fall will look like including continued COVID hotspots, limitations on travel, and how people are going to be feeling about being large groups. We feel the most responsible action at this time is to cancel BECAUSE 2020. We have explored moving the conference on line as many conferences and gatherings have done and find it is not the best option for BECAUSE.
    The BOP board is developing virtual community building that we hope will help bridge this time for our community. Please check out BOP's Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Meetup Group, and Twitter to stay informed of upcoming events.
    We are currently in discussion with our location, Wellstone Center, and our planned speakers and special guests to make BECAUSE 2021 one of the best ever. We hope you will join us in October 2021.

    Mission

    Build, serve and advocate for an empowered bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community to promote social justice.

    Vision

    Within the next five years grow Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) into a successfully-run Upper Midwest nonprofit organization with annual funding of $100,000 that provides community building, education, and advocacy for the bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community and our allies.
