| Publisher Description: Asa Leveaux gazes in awe at RuPaul, Billy Porter and Laverne Cox as queer Black superheroes, but doesn't see the totality of who he is reflected back at him in the rhinestoned mirror. Asa knows what it means to be an international speaker, understood what was required of him as a Bronze Star recipient in the United States Army and relishes in the moments his clients reach their bliss filled "aha moments" as America's #1 EntreQueerNeuer(TM) Coach. However, he is still learning what it means to be Black AND queer! There are a plethora of experiences that bring more clarity and more challenges that include: -Being raised in Oklahoma in the 1990s where people that look like him only make up 10% of the population -Having to "come out of the closet" not just to his parents who are pastors but to a little boy who has only known him to be attracted to women -Moving to southern California and realizing that there isn't enough money and how gogo dancing may bring ease to his bank account -Loving men who haven't healed so that ideas of forever kisses transform time and time again to tears as predictable as tomorrows -Wondering if God hates him like the rest of her children on Earth Asa Leveaux takes you on a life journey that spans decades of questions, promises, joys, epiphanies and moments too delicious to conceal from you. Today is the day you satisfy your curiosity and learn what else is in the tank of this Black and queer author besides sugar and learn how too possibly sweeten the world with what resides in your tank.
