I'm sorry it took me forever to find a Non Binary and or Gender Variant* Black icon,
The erasure* struggle is real,
If y'all know of any other non binary Black Icons, please let me know!
Day 14, Angel Haze
Angel Haze
Born July 10, 1991
Rapper and Singer
"Born in July 1991, Angel is a newcomer to the hip hop scene. Yet in two short years they've been able to turn a childhood hobby of writing poems into a full fledged career. Angel has made been making waves in hip hop since 2009 and their biggest splash came most recently when they were signed to Universal Music Group, becoming their newest artist to date.

Angel Haze is as confident as they are shy, and as proud as they are humble. Like many, their music provides a breath of fresh air for those who have an appreciation for music with genuine substance."
“I want to make people feel connected. I want to tell a story – everybody’s story”
-Angel Haze
**Non Binary (Binary referring to the gender binary society creates, saying that you can only be a man or a woman): Catch-all category for gender identities other than man and woman, thus outside of the gender binary and cisnormativity. You can be a boy and girl, neither, fluctuate, identify as three genders, and more!
Gender Variant : When your gender/gender identity/gender expression change and/or shift.
(Gender Variant definition brought to you by my home skillet Ollie)
You don't have to identify as either of these if you feel they don't fit you, there's so many options, you can create your own too!

*Erasure: The removal of all traces of something; obliteration.
Ps. Listen to Angel's song, Battle Cry, the acoustic version, its righteous!
