unsocialed commented on demon's review of Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert
the most genius book of all time.
THIS is exactly how i want to learn about important historical figures, to reimagine them and their stories, which worked magnificently for harriet tubman. this is how i want to hear about the queer community’s struggles and the fight to be seen when you aren’t exactly loud and proud enough to show yourself. this is exactly how i want to read about people who grew up surrounded by jesus-lovers and are still doubtful that the jesus who everyone loves loves you specifically. this is exactly how i want to read about inner strength and what defines popular culture. i love the queer community. this was such a touching and altogether celebratory story that makes you feel seen in ways you might’ve needed, like the breath of a hug from someone who loves you more than you love yourself sometimes, a reminder that the space you take in this world matters.
i cannot recommend enough that you NEED to listen to the audio. if print is more your thing, i suggest a tandem read. oral traditions through storytelling and song are how we used to survive, and we should always stay connected this way 💗🏳️🌈
