“i found out about @cascade_hu on Twitter and Tumblr and just through research i was doing before i got to Howard.  i’d just come out to people in my high school after i graduated and i needed to find queer people, queer black people in particular, cuz i knew queer people in high school, but there’s something about black queer people that i wanted to be around. i went to the first mixer during my freshmen year and i’ve been consistently involved ever since. probably one of the best organizations i’ve ever been about part of.”
