From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys.
Both a primer for teens eager to be allies as well as a reassuring testimony for young queer men of color, All Boys Aren't Blue covers topics such as gender identity, toxic masculinity, brotherhood, family, structural marginalization, consent, and Black joy. Johnson's emotionally frank style of writing will appeal directly to young adults. (Johnson used he/him pronouns at the time of publication.)

Essential for all black queer people!
Thank you for sharing your story. I see myself in so much of what you have shared. I'm really grateful that children and teenagers will have this to see themselves also.

Essential listening
The author is such an engaging narrator, and this memoir discusses so many important issues that young people face. Honestly, this should be required reading in high school.
