By proving our existence through data, we will then be able to funnel resources into our community. WE NEED TO BE COUNTED! ✊🏾🌈✨

Click the link in our bio to take our survey today! 🖤

[Explicitly Me. @explicitlyme24]

Have you filled out our poll? 📈📊

Here is why you should!! 🖊️

There is no data in the state of Louisiana on Lesbians of Color. If we are not counted, then the rest of society will continue to ignore our existence.

[Explicitly Me. @explicitlyme24]

Lesbians of color are a multiply marginalized population. Explicitly Me aims to address and confront the mental & physical health disparities caused by racism, heterosexism, genderism, sexism, ageism, and classism in the Lesbian BIPOC community.
