“We Worship All Sizes and All Shapes That Are Brown and Black!”

Community is central to the praxis of transformative justice as communities provide social, mental, and financial support. This article utilizes transformative justice as an analytic to examine my experiences in community with Black queer folks at Shuga Shaq: An All People of Color Burlesque Revue. I utilize Black feminist autoethnography to interpret and historicize my experiences in community among Black queer folks in a predominantly white U.S. city. I examine the structure of a typical Shuga Shaq show, concentrating on the hosts, cohosts, performances by burlesque dancers, and kinship formation with audience members. The political and cultural messages embedded in performances on and off stage constitute joy, self-love, and a celebration of Brown and Black bodies of all shapes and sizes.
