Creative Works Contest
2023-2024 All Boys Aren't Blue Creative Works Contest November 2023 submissions are closed.
From the memories of getting their teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with their loving grandmother, to their first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by a Black queer young person.
Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer masculine presenting people of color, All Boys Aren’t Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson’s emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults.
