The Tenth Muse

Rebellion is not only resistance, it is reclamation. This anthology gathers sapphic stories about breaking free from the expectations that confine us. Each piece explores what it means to reject silence, challenge inherited beliefs, and live fully and unapologetically. These are stories of defiance, tenderness, and transformation, where rebellion becomes an act of self-definition and love becomes liberation. All proceeds support The National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network (NQTTCN), an organization building a world where healing is accessible, collective, and rooted in justice. NQTTCN envisions communities that can recover from trauma, violence, and systemic oppression through care, connection, and the power of collective healing. Every story in this collection carries that same vision—of people living, loving, and healing beyond the limits imposed on them. Love loudly. Live freely. Be your own revolution.
