I am filled with gratitude to receive the cultural influencer award from Speak Out! This recognition speaks to the importance of black trans visibility in our communities. Thank you for highlighting the work that I do as a black trans woman.
Awards like this remind me that our voices matter, that our stories matter, and that our contributions to society are valued. They remind me that we are not alone, and that there are people out there committed to supporting and uplifting us.
This award is not just for me, but for every black trans woman who has ever felt invisible, unheard, or unseen. Thank you, Speak Out, for creating a space where our voices can be celebrated & amplified. Let's continue to speak out for the rights & visibility of black trans women
