The Core Message
In a world where everyone wants to define what queerness is, Undaunted is designed for the reader to define themselves. This book explores what it means to exist in a world where your existence is a policy and can be removed at the stroke of a pen.
Undaunted is more than resilience. It's a guide to help Black queer folks find their power amid adversity. Through a guided workbook, readers will discover tools of survival by engaging, recalling, and reauthoring their story.
This book is an invitation to self-discovery and self-actualization.
