    living in the dark

    Growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Saloni struggled to reconcile their queer, Black, and Filipino identities, a struggle that was exacerbated by racism and homophobia in their Catholic school system.  Saloni Dixon, 21, talks about the lack of education around race, gender, and sexuality in their environments and how that affected their upbringing.  Things you should know: In 2019, 40% of Black high school graduates in Indiana earned AP or dual credit, compared to a statewide average of 63%. Former students reported racist bullying at both Carmel High School and Westfield Washington Schools in Indiana, among others.

    introduction

    I’ve spent my summer talking to young, LGBTQ+ Asian American Pacific Islanders who grew up in my home state of Indiana. What is it like to be on the margins of the margins? In the minority of minorities? When the only world you know is one that doesn’t really welcome you, or even acknowledge that you exist? I'm Lily Shen, and this is Flyover.
