ELIXHER recently chatted with Genesis and Ryann from Bklyn Boihood, a collective that provides visibility and promotes the empowerment of masculine of center bois, lesbians, queers, trans-identified studs, doms, butches and AGs of color. The dynamic duo talks friendship, what we can expect this year from the Bklyn Boihood and their love for the borough.
ELIXHER: How did you guys meet?
RYANN: This is becoming like a love story.
GENESIS: It all started one summer day…
RYANN: The sun was shining bright. [Laughs.] So, it was 2006. Gen was working at a place that I got hired at as a receptionist. I was really, really bad at it. We became friends because she was, as my peer, like, “Yo, you’re about to get fired.” No one else was telling me that I was a really horrible employee. So we just hit it off ever since.
GENESIS: We’ve always had a very fun friendship. Bklyn Boihood embodies a lot of how we are as friends in that it’s very light and very fun.
