A queer Somali has an emergency! She needs $200 to cover rent or else she would be homeless. Please donate and share! She doesn’t have cashapp, but send any donations to $LGBTQSOMALIS and we will send it to her. She wants to be anonymous, so this is her friends Venmo.
Which is precisely why this is even more disappointing. Stealing artwork from a group that has only existed a month when Salam has existed for 3 years is upsetting and we will not be gaslighted about this.
I’ve been out of the closet for about 5 years now and am so glad I’m able to share my art and strength with my fellow queer and trans Somali folks around the world. We are such incredible people and I’m so proud to be both queer and Somali ❤️ - Imani Khalifa
