Lebo Diverse is a self-published author of an anthology titled Pieces of Expressions. The book stems from a place of a drowning young person who felt suicidal. However, their spirit refused to leave earth without leaving something behind.
The book was meant to be a parting gift to the world that turned into a birth certificate and Lebo is the living testimony. Pieces of Expression proves the power of Publish – when Lebo as battling with the conflict of publish or perish, publishing prevailed. Lebo is also co-developing an annual collective publication titled “Imagining a Queer and Black Institution” where black queers from around the globe share their stories.
