Three years later…
The blog challenge is over, yet, I am still writing. That means that writing here has once again become habit, and that makes me happy.
With that being said, I have a lot to say, but because my audience now isn’t the same audience I started out with, I do feel the need to reintroduce myself.
Hi, I’m Alix.
I started writing A Brown Girl Gone Gay just a little over 3 years ago. I was in a much different place when this blog was born. This blog was birthed out of necessity. I had been writing another blog, one much less fabulous, and my girlfriend was an avid reader. When we broke up, she monitored my blog to gain insight to my emotions. I didn’t feel like she was entitled to such an inside view of my heart, so…
I created a new blog, a new name, and wrote anonymously for…hmmm…A long time. There was no face besides my afrocentric brown girl. Then twitter happened and there was a real person’s face to go along with this blog.
Initially, I shared a lot of my personal life here. It was easy. I knew that none of you would associate the real me with this blog. I didn’t have to worry about being judged. I’ve shied away from such brutally honest and open posts. I’d like to get back to that. Two blogs reminded me of what I used to be and what I want to be again. Many thanks to Slivers of She and She’s My Husband.
In the future expect me to share my life, my random thoughts, and my opinions of the gayness that surrounds me.
Thank you all for your continued support. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Glad to see you’ll keep going strong!

I’ve really grown to admire both you & your courage via your post.. you amaze me
I love when you are writing…it’s so inspiring… *kissess
Ohh, Pup, you can probably imagine how envious I am, as I haven’t written since the collapse of You-Know-What! But I’m so happy for you! Especially that you’re writing in the midst of a happy, healthy relationship, which I’ve NEVER been able to do!
Plus, since being unable to keep in better touch, I can’t wait to see what you have to say!

p.s. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years (and 6 for us)!
Thank you for the mention! Welcome Back! We look forward to reading.
I want to get back to writing. .. I just really don’t know how…
Just write. Don’t think. Just do it…
Sis, this really takes me back to when we first met. Where would I be without you… Looking forward to the brutally honest Alix I have always known.
