Abstract

Danielle “StrugglingToBeHeard” Cole is a Black nonbinary femme who was launched from the relative safety of their Tumblr famous social justice online community into infamy via a viral video reposted to the notoriously unjust, WorldStarHipHop gossip blog. In this excerpt from my book, Misogynoir Transformed: Black Women’s Digital Resistance (NYU Press May 2021), I asked Cole about her vision for a social media platform built on Black feminist principles. What would it look and feel like when #BlackLivesMatter was a central tenet of the platform, with queer, trans, nonbinary, agender and gender variant Black folks to the front?.
