Abstract

In this article, Adebayo expertly weaves together powerful theory with personal identity, experience, and ancestry. With care and in rich detail, they draw from Yorùbá mythologies, storytelling, and connections to the land to explore their own kinship relations, stories of becoming, and boundless capacity to dream as a queer African person living in Canada.
