#LimitlessAfricans: PO, Afro-Queer Congolese (Shot in Mons, Belgium)Q. How is your relationship with your family, and what does being “accepted” by your family look like for you?“*Sigh* That’s complicated. What do you mean by family? My small family - I’m going to focus on them - never had a queer - haha - never had a clear conversation, but there have been questions about my activism. And so we had more conversations about my activism than my identity. At the end I think that my parents have somehow let me be who I am in general by letting me have space.I didn’t do a coming out and I will not make one, because for me it’s not the point, because of how our relationship is it’s not the point. I don’t feel the need and they’re not asking for it. For me being accepted is being able to come back, visit my family, spend time with my parents without being in a state of fear or something. I’m comfortable with them and then they’re comfortable with me. It’s like, what does it look like to be accepted?. It’s knowing that you are still together - me and my family - that we’re still together. That’s it. That’s it. Otherwise we would not be in contact. It’s knowing that we are still together.My big family - we don’t have much contact, that’s it.”- PO (she/they, IG: @po.b.k.lomami, Twitter: @lomamipo, Facebook: Po B. K.
