"'It wasn't a dramatic coming out of the closet...but instead an accumulation of experiences that revealed my queerness.' From her childhood crush on Xena the Warrior Princess to her first foray into a lesbian bar, from the harm of racist and patriarchal systems to the solace found in an orisha dance class, Sharon Lee De La Cruz gives us a thought-provoking reflection on the ways in which oppression caused her late bloom into queerness. And she invites us to discover the things that have informed one woman's conception of freedom."-- cover page 4.
