Facilitator
Lily X is a sapphic fiction writer with a love for trope-y interracial romance.
Over the past decade, she’s created inclusive fantasy worlds to come to terms with her sexuality in a conservative brown family. Now, as a thirty-something queer femme, she is no closer to figuring out what labels mean, but truly believes queer people have the power to light the world with some much-needed magic.
Lily currently lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, and prays for sunlight every day.
