Growing up in the Midwest in a blended, mixed-religion family of 19 children, the obstacles Hari Ziyad navigated led to a life meditating on race and gender. The editor-in-chief of the website RaceBaitr and a 2021 Lambda Literary Fellow joins host Krys Boyd to discuss their personal history of a queer and Black childhood, and about breaking down structures of institutionalized racism and violence. Their book is “Black Boy Out of Time: A Memoir.”
