Do Our Black Trans Lives Matter?

In the wake of the senseless murders of our trans sisters Chyna Gibson, Ciara McElveen and Jaquarrius Holland, Diamond, Dee Dee and I put on our hats as Black Transwomen, Inc board members and got together on Monday night to record a video of us discussing the question do our Black trans lives matter?  .

Yes, they most certainly do,.  Our #BlackTransLivesMatter, and here's what we all had to say about it .

 

Trials Of LGBT Out Vs.Not Out Panel Discussion Event At UH Tonight

It's National Coming Out Week, and I've been invited to take part in a panel discussion on the University of Houston campus later this evening. 

It's part of the on campus series of events conducted to enlighten the UH community on LGBT issues in the runup to National Coming Out Day on Friday.

The event I've been invited to take part in is hosted by Gamma Rho Lambda Sorority's Kappa Chapter and is a panel discussion entitled 'Trials of LGBT: Out Vs. Not Out'.    I'm excited to not only be back on the campus of my alma mater, but be part of a panel of people who have either had the experience of either coming out or are unable to do so due to extenuating circumstances.

It'll be at the Agnes Arnold Building on the UH main campus tonight, October 8 in Room 30 and starts at 6:30 PM   

Hope you folks in the Houston area and on or near the UH campus can make it for what should be an interesting discussion.
