In this formally inventive, candid and courageous book, he explores what he has carried in his body: wins and losses, shame and pride, pain and joy.

In Better to Cry Now: Shaping the Flow of a Gay Black Man, award-winning author and educator Geoffrey Newman shares his extraordinary life lived at the intersections of race, sexuality, and art.

A groundbreaking look at the history of transgender representation in TV and film, by an of-the-moment and in-demand culture reporter. Narrated by Tre'vell Anderson, WE SEE EACH OTHER is a personal history of trans visibility since the beginning of moving images.

Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived.

At the age of 90, Stanley Underhill ended years of secrecy and silence with the publication of his extraordinary memoir, Coming Out of The Black Country. Cathartic and courageous, the book vividly recounts Underhill’s lifelong struggle to reconcile his faith and sexuality – a struggle that began in extreme poverty in the industrial Midlands and continued with ever-increasing drama through his time as a naval nurse in the Royal Navy, as an accountant, as a Franciscan Brother and nearly 40 years as a priest in the Church of England.
