Highlighting US!!!


After the poly visual representation project I did a few months ago it sparked something in me. It sparked a real desire to highlight black polyamorous people.  A few of the folks who participated have blogs, Youtube channels, social media pages and websites dedicated to their poly journey. I'd love to share that with others and my hope is to have more black poly folks start blogs, websites and events that highlight non-monogamous relationships.


  • Loving Solo This blog is written by the lovely Roselyn.  She highlights her poly journey and life from a solo poly perspective.  It's definitely a breath of fresh air to see SoPo black folks living their best lives!
  • Black & Poly Magazine   This website has been a gem to me and I highly recommend it to any black poly person. It's full or articles, movie and book reviews that focus on polyamory and non-monogamy.
  • Black Sex Geek  Ruby Bouie Johnson is the main presenter of this page.  She states "This page is dedicated to expression, support, and advocacy for people of color within the community, state, and nation. This page is designed for the dissemination of news, politics, and sexuality education."
  • Poly Phamily Values  This Facebook page showcases a black poly family and their life. I had the pleasure of including them in the visual representation project as well. 
  • Lavitaloca Sawyers  A seriously dope poly individual that is out,loud and proud about her polyamory...the good and the bad. 
  • Poly Role Models An Instagram page ran by Kevin Patterson who is the author of two books; Loves Not Color Blind: Race and Representation in Polyamorous and other alternative communities and For Hire: Operator. Also, if you have tumblr visit the polyrolemodels.tumblr.com page.
  • Poly Collective  An Instagram page highlighting black poly events in the DMV and surrounding areas.
