#blacktranslivesmatter
Had so much fun at my benefit cam show and raised some $$ too!
Just donated it to the awesome Transgender, Gender Variant, and Intersex Justice Project which advocates for black and brown trans and gender non-conforming folks in the prison system.
I challenge you today, if you have the means(which many more of us do than donate to worthwhile causes) to donate to a POC(people of color), queer, trans, or female lead organization which seeks to advocate for and elevate their own people in an intersectional and ethical manner.
If you would like to donate to the Transgender, Gender Variant, and Intersex Justice Project clickHERE

You can see all of my thoughts leave my brain at some point #airhead but anyway!! Corporations can’t really be in “solidarity” when capitalism benefits them either way you flip the coin… what they CAN do, is make a POWERFUL statement and advocate for change by opening their massive wallets and redistributing that wealth into the same communities they pillage—also to apply PRESSURE on the necks of the local government officials #SWIPE to see my favorite joke about one of the very few companies I actually respect. I wish they had more vegan options!!!

RP from @osatyam:
We’re still raising funds for the Black QT centered healing center, #BlackMagicSanctuary .
This sauna & respite center is in stage one of getting the funds to acquire land. If we get 333 people to donate just $14, we’ll hit our first milestone of $10K.
Put $14 on it and share widely! Let’s get our communities the space and healing we deserve.

FUNDRAISER ASK:
This Juneteenth Solar Eclipse New Moon Solstice weekend also led us into Cancer season.
At our altar build, I invited y'all to imagine with me. My vision is Black Magic Sanctuary: Sauna & Respite Center for Black & Indigenous folks.
bit.ly/blacksanctuaryfund
This is a vision I’ve had for many years, but I didn’t believe it could move back then. Black queer folks healing didn’t feel valued widely enough yet. But right now is different.
Right now especially, we need a sacred healing space. We need land, food gardens, saunas & community. We need safety, autonomy, and affirmation.
Check the link in my bio to learn more about #BlackMagicSanctuary and be one of the first to donate to this needed space in BlaQueer Atlanta.

Finding our freedom is ongoing.
Mourning our slain.
Often fearing futures and repeating pasts.
But right now in this this pivotal time,
Imagine our futures.
While we continue to build them, keep visioning.
What does freedom for all Black people look like?
Imagine fully liberated Black people,
Normalized Black leisure,
Unbridled Black pleasure,
Boisterous black joy.
Imagine it every day.
Cast those spells.
Do the work
Happy Juneteenth Weekend!
Also, hey white folks! Keep paying reparations beyond this weekend.

Loved being interviewed for this piece! Home girl rocked it out!
My favorite quotes:
“A good ally doesn’t try to steer the narrative for trans people. They just listen. They understand that their role is to support me by hearing me first. Allyship is about how you use information and education and awareness in spaces that don’t have our bodies — spaces where they aren’t present.”
—
“If you think there’s no risk in being an ally, then maybe you aren’t doing enough. If you think it is going to be a breeze or that you can change your profile picture on Facebook and tackle what we need, that’s not it.“
—
"Being an ally is hard to talk about because it is, at the same time, both simple and complex. It’s about respecting the other person’s full humanity, but it’s also about understanding how to do that. And how to do that is really difficult because I don’t think most people have ever been fully respected in their humanity. To not know what that feels like and then have the desire to grant that to someone else is a really hard spot to be in.”
Following in the footsteps of Marsha P. Johnson, Miss Major, and many others is an amazing and diverse array of black trans activists. Many are aware of today’s advocacy titans — Laverne Cox and Janet Mock — but there are many black trans people who round out their endeavors with grassroots and on-the-ground work. We couldn’t name them all, but here’s a list of black trans activists who our “transcestors” would certainly be proud of!
Check out the list here.
Happy birthday, Marsha P. Johnson! Let’s remember her dedication to legendary trans & queer activism! #TransHerstory

This week marks one year since Black transgender activists in the United States organized Black Trans Liberation Tuesday. Held on Tuesday, August 25, the national day of action publicized Black trans experiences and memorialized 18 trans women, predominantly trans women of color, who had been murdered by this time last year.
It’s been one year since Black trans activists led our first national day of action.#BlackTransLiberationTuesday
By this time in 2015, there had been at least 18 trans people, mostly Black trans women murdered. This year, we’re up to at least 20.
The name grew from Tuesday being the day that trans people would receive services & support from the Tom Waddell Clinic each week in San Francisco.
Those initial “Transgender Tuesdays” were captured in a documentary back nearly 20 years ago that was filmed at the clinic in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco.
It became a regular thing for trans folks in San Francisco & trans-led TGI Justice Project (TGIJP) still uses it as its mail day for incarcerated trans folks.
The first “Trans Liberation Tuesday” was led by trans Latina and Black activists to memorialize Taja DeJesus in Feb. 2015. TAJA’s Coalition is named after her.
By Aug. 2015, the numbers of slain trans women grew & a collaboration formed between the BlackLivesMatter network, TGI Justice Project, GetEQUAL & groups around the U.S.
It’s important that we remember our history and commemorate when we can. This was a major day for us and our work as Black trans Warriors shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Check out some articles on the day:

Sometimes I fear trans women of color will run out of ways to explain that our lives are constantly in danger before you take us seriously.
We can put our worries and fears in poems and chants and letters and videos, but we can’t force y'all to care.
We get pats on the back, forced smiles & half-hearted nods, but do you carry our stories with you beyond the moment you hear or read them?
Do you check-in on the trans women you know regularly?
Do you actually care to read the text or hear the call that they made it home safely?
Do you provide space for them to tell you where they’re when they walk out of their front doors?
Do you consider their potential anxiety?
When you say “be careful, be cautious, be particular,” what do you mean?
Do you even say those things to the trans women in your life?
Every moment with a trans woman of color, could be the last?
How are you making sure that the next time you see her isn’t in an obituary?
Respect our lives. Celebrate our lives. Protect our lives.
