Skinside Out

Skinside Out confronts the politics of naming and the power of self-definition. Branded by a word historically used to wound, she turns it outward, making it her own to wear. This body is not marked by shame but by choice—skin as canvas and signature. Claiming the slur, we expose the violence of language and the resilience of identity. To live skinside out is to refuse concealment, reject erasure and declare visibility.
