This month I'm donating to @TransHousingCo a trans led org helping provide black trans women in Atlanta with safe, permanent housing. It has always been crucial work, but the current rush of anti-trans bills makes it even more so. Please donate if you can transhousingcoalition.org

Called "In Her Hands," the program will choose 210 women fm the area by lottery to rcv. $850/mo. for 2 years. We're grateful that the fund allowed the formerly homeless women in our program to apply and glad to see Atlanta being put on the map with a guaranteed basic income 2/3

I will be interviewing 100 LGBTQ elders over the next two years for a project I am calling “OLD & QUEER.” I believe it’s vital to collect stories from our elders while they’re still alive, and I’m excited to share the first one here: Pat and Paulette, both 70, in Harlem, NYC 🧵

It's easy to forget w/all the daily doom and gloom that trans Black women are doing amazing things every day: forbes.com/sites/dawnstac…
