:: still on a high from the Trans Women of Color & Healing & Wellness Summit this past weekend, produced by the incomparable @ebonyavaharper for the @calendow . Thank you Ebony for having me speak on the need of economic empowerment for Black and Brown transgender women. And more importantly, thank you for your vision, in which trans women of color are safe and have claimed healing. These opportunities for wellness are so surprisingly so rare, and yet so necessary. ❤️

:: to be truthful i don’t get to read for pleasure that often. i spend most days reading news, government contracts, RFPs and funder announcements. and ever so often get to dive deep into thought provoking thought pieces. and of course, i read the children. 😉 i made a February- June commitment to read a book a month for pleasure- and i’ve joined a book club to keep me at it. here are my picks for #blackhistorymonth if you might want to join me. ❤️ Becoming: @michelleobama | My Life On A Plate (cookbook) by @kelis | The Beast Side: Living and Dying While Black In America (not so pleasurable tbh): @dwatkinsworld | and of course, the March issue of @outmagazine 🙌🏾
:: last night was incredible! it was everything i needed and more. I was unfiltered and it was amazing to be raw and honest- about nonprofits and anti blackness, the shade, and also the empowering spaces we do have and are being created for us. anyways, happy friday!! thank you @efniksdotcom for having me join the incredible panel for “ When 'POC' is Not Enough: Anti-Blackness in LGBTQ Communities”. We need more conversations like these. Thank you @saychieeef and @yourkinfolkz and @dancinglibrarian and Nia for a needed conversation❤️
:: just another day at the office.
:: thank you @womensfoundationca for having me today! I got to play a Board of Supervisor Board President today for the Women’s Policy Institute Local Policy Fellowship program’s Mock Resolution Hearings ❤️ I was a “moderate” for the sessions which was pretty fun. I could get used to this 😉 #publicpolicy #womeninpolicy #womensfoundationofcalifornia
:: “Aria Sa’id, the youngest of the bunch at 29, elevates the sobering reality that being a trans woman of color is still difficult in other areas of San Francisco, even ones that have been claimed by the larger LGBTQ+ community. “The Tenderloin is probably the only area of the city where trans women are socially accepted, and it’s the only place that we can actually afford to live,” she says. “The Castro has not historically been accepting of trans people, in particular, and it was always sort of designed for wealthy, gay white people, so the Tenderloin is the antithesis of it. I had $60 in my purse, took the Greyhound bus, and was dropped off at the Caltrain station. All of us end up in the Tenderloin.” | @outmagazine ‘s March 2019 issue celebrating #womenshistorymonth | LINK IN BIO
