Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is using her voice to ensure more Black, queer stories get told

We always knew Oscar-nominated actress, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, was a queen. But it wasn’t until 2022 that we learned Ellis-Taylor was a bisexual queen.

And though her closest friends and family had known for years, this was the first time she had shared her identity publicly.  “The way that I live my life, around the people that I live my life around, I am public about it,” Ellis-Taylor said. “I’m very clear about being bisexual. I have a sweatshirt that says ‘Girl Bi’ that I wear everywhere.” Follow the #linkinbio to read more. Noah J. Ricketts offers a shining example of a queer actor proudly stepping into the spotlight
