I started The Starfruit Project back in 2018 after dropping out of my MFA program in Drama and Theatre for Youth and Communities. When I started at the University of Texas at Austin, I dreamed of creating cute theatre spaces for q***r and trans people of color. I ended up being investigated for racism.

Since hitting publish, I've heard from many people with similar stories. From Pre-K to PhDs, all Black people, especially Black trans people, deserve so much better. ✊🏾

ID// a screenshot of an article. the title reads " : That One Time I, a Black Q***r Grad Student, Got Investigated for Racism." Below the title is a tiny photo of Briyana, a Black person smiling with their eyes closed, with text next to it reading "Briyana D. Clarel, Just now, 14 min read." Beneath that is three lines of text reading "In 2016, I packed up my car and did not drive it from New Jersey to Texas because I am a Black q***r non-binary person with."
