Abstract
Every memoir is a sort of manifesto; each chapter adds up to the life of the author, who hopes
to leave some sort of legacy that, will inspire others to improve humanity. In every field of
trade, commerce, and telecommunication are becoming the haste of rapid development at the
global level, which brings some paradigmatic change in people’s understanding of identity and
self-hood. This paper makes a serious effort to trace, map out Black Queer Boy’s journey as an
outsider of the family searching for his own existence. This memoir also highlights that the
black queer boy, Saeed, is aware of the whole discrimination, homophobia, and racism that he
goes through all his life and that pollutes everything, and this is the only reason which made
him openly awake as a gay black man. In the book, “How We Fight For our Lives”, a black
youngster named Saeed fights for not only his own existence but also that of the entire human
race. This research paper details his struggle.
