She called me woman Edited by Chitra Nagarajan, Azeenarh Mohammed & Rafeeat Aliyu

She Called Me Woman is a collection of rst-hand accounts by a community telling their stories on their own terms. In this absorbing and ground- breaking collection, 25 narratives are brought together to paint a picture of what it really means to be a queer Nigerian.

Covering tales of first love and boarding school curiosity, as well as the (sometimes fraught) relationship between sexuality and spirituality, She Called Me Woman challenges stereotypes with these snapshots into queer Nigerian life.

“the editors of this collection succeed in bringing LGBTQ Nigerian women out of the shadows.” — Publisher’s Weekly
