RAQUEL WILLIS

It was a great pleasure to meet Ms. Raquel Willis. The award-winning Activist, Author and Media Strategist is for-sure dedicated to Transgender Rights.

Raquel Willis is quite visible on her social media platforms, as she writes, rallies and champions for the liberation and rights of everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community. She sends this message…

“I wouldn’t be here without our powerful Elders, Transcestors and ancestors like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Crystal LaBeija and of course, our living legend, Miss Major. It so important to remember that there is no pride with out resistance and resilience. We have to be invested in all of our liberation. Queer and Trans Youth are still absorbing so many messages that tell them that they shouldn’t exist. We have to fight for them just like our ancestors did at Stonewall for us. I believe in our power and want you to believe in yours too.”
