Welcome to Litsy!

I didn‘t expect to finish my first #joysofjune #readathon goal so quickly! I greatly enjoyed Toni‘s memoir. She talks about her journey to identifying herself as a trans woman, relates her experiences as a sex worker and dominatrix, and shares injustices that inspired her to turn her career to law. #lgbtq #transgender #memoir #nonfiction #ownvoices

It's not quite the 13th, but since I'm already reading my #joysofjune #readathon book and am a slow reader (most of my books are comics and audio, so I look faster than I am), I figured I'd start a day early. I have been capturing quotes I liked or seemed meaningful or made me laugh, but of the ones I've captured up to this point, I'm only sharing this one because it stood out prominently. #blm #blacklivesmatter #transgender. Trans lives matter.

Thank you @Andrew65 for another set-your-goald readathon.
I think for #joysofjune, I'll aim to finish Toni Newman's memoir and start another author my #pridemonth2020 #lgbtqvoices book adventure has made me aware of!

For #pridemonth2020, I'm highlighting 30 openly LGBTQ+ authors. Toni Newman is a black trans woman and activist advocating on the behalf of sex workers. Her memoir explores her life lived outside the norm and her experience in discovering how to live as herself. #LGBTQvoices #blackvoices #lgbtqauthors #transauthor #BLM #lgbtauthors #transgender #Pocauthor #LGBTQbook #blackauthors
