The meme is a screenshot of a tweet from author and activist Bell Hooks, where she responds to a question about her identity as a lesbian. The text reads: "I identify as lesbian. I am a lesbian. I am not a lesbian. I am a black lesbian. I am a black lesbian writer. I am a black lesbian writer. I am a lesbian. I am a lesbian." The meme is likely being used to poke fun at the complexity of identity labels and the challenges of self-identification.
