MISS MAJOR

Miss Major Griffin Gracy, Executive Director of Transgender Gender Variant Intersexed Justice Project, in San Francisco, is the subject of the documentary MAJOR! which is streaming on Prime Video and OnDemand.

Miss Major is a veteran of the Stonewall Rebellion, a Community Leader and a Human Rights Activist. She’s also an incredible Author. Miss Major’s book: MISS MAJOR SPEAKS– CONVERSATIONS WITH A BLACK TRANS REVOLUTIONARY was published in 2023.

The great Miss Major is currently on her Tell It Like It Fucking Is (Tilifi) tour. The Tilifi Tour is a response to ALL of the anti-Trans legislation laws in 2023, however, Miss Major has been fighting the good fight for justice, rights and equality for all for 50+ years (yes ma’am) and she’s not stopping now. Most notably are her advocacy and activism for Trans Women of Color who have survived police brutality and incarceration in men’s prisons and jails.

Miss Major is the recipient of this year’s, 2024 BET Black and Iconic Pioneer of the Year Award among many other accolades and awards for her work. As one of NYC Pride’s Grand Marshals, Miss Major was a wonder to see and to hear. She truly is beautiful, amazing and incredible!

“Back in ‘69, we were fighting for our rights, we were fighting for the police to stop pouncing on us. And now the Government want to start again, pouncing on us- that has to stop.

Please vote on all levels because voting is the only thing that will get them out of those f*ckin’ seats. Teach them that they can’t push us around… anymore. Life is hard for everybody- you and me. We got to fight for it, fight and win and then we will live our lives- everybody.

Take care.”
