In our second installation of What’s Your Queer African Story, we go to South Africa and meet Umlilo.
Umlilo is a gender diverse artist from Johannesburg, in this episode, they discuss their musical and Queer journey. With themes touching on family support to making music about resistance, they discuss not being afraid about making music that is different because they themselves are different.
This short is all about acceptance, resilience and triumph. It’s about embracing self, self expression and activism. It’s about artistic creation beyond the conversation of gender and sexuality.
You too can be part of the series by telling us who should be the next bold, black and queer trendsetter featured next.
