Jason Reynolds on IamGMJohnson: 'That’s what drives George: they see children, more specifically Black children, and even more specifically, queer Black children as their family' TIME100Next
is an overused word. A word, I’d argue, that has become milquetoast and cliché. So despite the urge to do so, I will refrain from callingbrave. I’d rather consider George urgent, because urgency implies spark and pulse.
In the opportunities I’ve had to spend time with George, we’ve typically laughed and traded notes about how much of their fortitude comes from their family. And perhaps that’s what drives George: they see children, more specifically Black children, and even more specifically queer Black children, as their family. They are George’s nieces and nephews who deserve to laugh as hard as George does in the face of muzzlers, so that they may know the value of … bravery.
