Secure your spot for the premiere of George Johnson’s memoir-manifesto, “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” on Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 p.m., featuring a conversation with the author and renowned activist Twiggy Pucci Garçon. In a series of personal essays, prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist Johnson explores his childhood and adolescence growing up as a gay Black man. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir is a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men 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.
