“Won’t you celebrate with us: how we are Black everything, and originating ions ago, though most folk call us new. Won’t you celebrate our beauty, our blackness, our bravery, how we decorate ourselves in garments for the gods and for the gworls, and for those who need to see trans and gender-diverse bodies owning how divine we be. Come on, celebrate with us, how despite efforts to capture and contain, beat us down and dispose of our bodies, we smile with all teeth and trudge alongside one another in the trenches. Come celebrate the alchemy of our existence, how we shapeshift the molds that our spirits are too enormous to exist within. Come meet with us, at the frontlines of revolution, of legislation to get us free, of advocating affordable housing, healthcare, and racial equity. Come celebrate with us, see us, cheers to us: we who never die, we who always rise, we Black trans lives. Won’t you celebrate with us, hear our voice and heed the tales: of how everyday, something has tried to kill us…and failed." -Bobbi Kindred, Interim Communications Manager, LRP #TransDayofVisibility
