L I B E R A T I O N-Kei

The first time I met Miss Major, "Mama Major", was at the M4BL Convening in Cleveland, OH held in July 2015 It was the leadership of Black trans women who exposed me to the radical politics of possibility.

Miss Major was present at the Stonewall Riots in 1969, influenced by the Attica Riots, fought for the justice of murdered trans women and through the AIDS epidemic She's purchased a home turned retreat space, became a parent, and earlier this year she published a book. At the start of the summer she was brought here to NYC to speak with the community and affirmed that it is our duty to fight back. Here I was meeting this living legend - again - but instead of being greeted from the stage, I was met with a hugging embrace

Love is the most liberating experience It's the type of possibility that Black trans people need.
