Alexis Pauline Gumbs is a Queer Black Feminist Love Evangelist and an aspirational favorite cousin to all life. Her work in this lifetime is to facilitate infinite, unstoppable ancestral love in practice. Alexis’s books are portable textual ceremonies. Her most recent book "Survival is a Promise: The Eternal Life of Audre Lorde" revolutionizes the scale of life writing. Her award-winning meditation "Undrowned: Black Feminist
Lessons from Marine Mammals " offers the critical interspecies love song we need at this urgent stage of our collective evolution. Alexis is also currently working her next book in honor of June Jordan and Fannie Lou Hamer, "A Homemade Field of Love" (forthcoming from Yale University Press).
