Embracing All of Me Myths to Magic: Building Bi+ Futures in Black Communities (with Zoomy & Chizu)
In this episode of Embracing All of Me, Ross talks with sex educator Zoomy Taylor and animator/artist Chizu about what it means to be both Black and bisexual in a world that insists on binaries. Together, they dive into:
Why bisexual people, especially bi+ Black women and fems, experience the highest rates of interpersonal violence
How myths about “DL men” harm everyone and distort sexual health conversations
How biphobia shows up in family, religion, and queer spaces
Diaspora tensions (African vs. African American vs. Caribbean) and how they shape identity
The power of media and animation to rewrite representation
They discuss sex education, consent, bodily autonomy, domestic and sexual violence rates in the bi community, and the harmful assumption that bisexuality is a “stepping stone” or a privileged experience.
This conversation is emotional, intellectual, and freeing.
