Sankofa: “To retrieve” in Twi. The cast of Kobi Essah Ayensuo’s music video for their single ‘Sweet Like Home’. All unapologetically queer, most non-binary, many gender fluid, some trans. All beautiful. All retrieving what it means to be queer in a world that wants their erasure.

Safe Place - Kobi Essah Ayensuo (he/they) held by Azara (she/they) as they kiss him on the forehead.
Tender: Azara (she/they) firmly holding Kobi Essah Ayensuo’s (pronouns he/they). They’re family. They welcome you. I dare you to look into their eyes and let your fear of them fade away.
