'It was an ocean of triumph, a sea of love, and I only want those tides to rise from this day forward.' Thank you ceyenne3 for your work and your words 💞 BlackTransLivesMatter
When I looked out from the podium at everyone that had gathered outside of the Brooklyn Museum on Sunday to stand up forI was raised there. I first got involved in sex work two blocks from Grand Army Plaza. As a, I never thought I’d see that many people, especially white people, standing up for my community. I was so emotional, so overwhelmed. Seeing all the old people, the young people, the gorgeous little kids, and all the queer babies — it was epic. People are waking up.
I’ll tell you what I told that crowd of thousands: I love you. I love all of you. I may not know you, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love you. We need to be nice to each other, and we need to love each other. This work is about all of us, the sustainability of Black trans women, of lesbian, queer, whatever—the whole alphabet! I want other trans women to not only live in their truth but to live in their excellence, every single day.
