Now available in audio: Future Leaders of Nowhere by Australian author Emily O'Beirne.

Narrated by the amazing Cat Gould.

[Get it here]

Finn’s solid. Not in body, but in being. She’s gravity and kindness and all those good things that anchor.

Willa’s confusing. Sometimes she’s this sweet, sensitive soul. Other times she’s like a flaming arrow you hope isn’t coming for you.

Finn and Willa have been picked as team leaders in the future leader camp game. The usually confident Finn doesn’t know what’s throwing her more, the fact she’s leading a team of highly unenthusiastic overachievers or coming up against fierce, competitive Willa. And Willa doesn’t know which is harder, leaving her responsibilities behind to pursue her goals or opening up to someone.

Soon they both realize that the hardest thing of all is balancing their clashing ideals with their unexpected connection. And finding a way to win, of course.

Lesbian Heroes 🏳️‍🌈

Mabel Hampton (May 2, 1902 – October 26, 1989)

“I have been a lesbian all my life, for eighty-two years, and I am proud of myself and my people. I would like all my people to be free in this world, my gay people and my black people.”
– Mabel Hampton
(New York Pride 1984)

Mabel Hampton was born in 1902. She was a Black lesbian activist, dancer and philanthropist.
Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Hampton was only two months old when her mother died. She was raised by her grandmother and then by her aunt and uncle, who treated her badly.
From the age of eight to 17, Hampton lived with a white family in New Jersey.  In 1919 she went to jail for prostitution, which she saw as a lesbian code. After serving 13 months of a three-year sentence at Bedford Hills, Hampton was released.
In the 1920s, Hampton danced in all-black productions alongside the stars of the Harlem Renaissance.
In 1932 she met Lillian Foster and the two women began a relationship that lasted until Foster’s death in 1978.
Throughout the 60s, Hampton was the central figure in a black lesbian community that flourished in the Bronx, and in 1974 she began working with the Lesbian Herstory Archives.
Mabel was also an important person in the gay rights movement - she participated in every gay pride march during her lifetime, including the first historic march and demonstration for gay rights in Washington, D.C., in 1979.
In 1985, Mabel was named Grand Marshal of the New York City Gay Pride March. In the same year, Mabel received a lifetime achievement award from the National Coalition of Black Lesbians and Gays.
Interviews with Mabel are featured in the movies „Before Stonewall“ and „Silent Pioneers“, both of which document the struggle for gay rights and efforts to achieve equality.
Mabel died of pneumonia in 1989 in New York, USA, at the age of eighty-seven.
