Bi+ Book Club Reading for March 7

2/12/2018

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.

We hope you will join us for the BECAUSE Conference as it's never been before: a hybrid event of in-person and online workshops, speakers, and social events. With Zoom producers and experienced programming staff, we are developing a new way of experiencing BECAUSE while keeping all the engagement, support, and community that has been at the core of the conference for the last 30 years.

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.
