Welcome to the club!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTired of feeling like you don't belong? Join the club. It's called the Section. You'd think a spot to chill, chat, and find community would be much easier to come by for nerdy, queer punks. But when four longtime, bookish BFFs--Lika, Amor, Lala, and Tony--can't find what they need, they take matters into their own hands and create a space where they can be a hundred percent who they are: Black, queer, and weird. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe group puts a call out for all awkward Black folks to come on down to the community center to connect. But low attendance and IRL run-ins with trolls of all kinds only rock everybody with anxiety. As our protagonists start to question the merits of their vision, a lifetime of insecurities--about not being good enough or Black enough--bubbles to the surface. Will they find a way to turn it around in time for their radical brainchild, the Blackward Zine Fest? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLawrence Lindell's characters pop from the page in playful Technicolor. From mental health to romance, micro--and macro--aggressions to joy, our crew tackles everything life throws at them in this heartwarming tale about building a place to belong and the power of community.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50510404124895,"sku":"9781770466784","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/MwfzXt-4v29781770466784.webp?v=1782928686"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/lawrence-lindell.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
