Digital Transgender Archive
Jeaux narrates their coming into black trans boihood, from their childhood in Atlanta to their life in New York City today. As the creator of Black Boi Complex, a virtual community for masculine-of-center black LGBTQI+ people, they have worked to foster interpersonal networks of support and care within black queer communities. They also discuss self-care, finding moments for joy and self-love, and navigating mental health and the healthcare system. (Summary by Jamie Magyar.)
