Award-winning director, writer & filmmaker luchina spoke to Ms. for glaad's SpiritDay — about her upcoming documentary feature, 'Mama Gloria' and the importance of parents being allies to their LGBTQ+ children, especially within the Black community.
As a Black woman filmmaker raising a biracial transgender daughter, I see Gloria’s story through a unique lens. For me, it’s personal and it’s urgent.At least 32 transgender people have been killed, most of them Black women
. Hate crimes against trans people have increased 34 percent under the current administration, yet only 20 percent of people actually know or think they know a trans person. I want everyone to meet Gloria. But I think her story is especially inspiring for Gia and other young trans people who need to see that they too can have long, meaningful lives.is the story of a mother’s love—the love Gloria’s mother had for her and the love Gloria has for her chosen children. And it’s driven by the love I have for my daughter.It is critical for parents to give unconditional love and support to their trans and other LGBTQ children first and foremost.
