i have so many thoughts about pride, its history, the way it’s marketed in present day. but if nothing else, i’m proud to be connected to all living beings: the queer people celebrating their whole selves for the first time this year, the trees that line these streets witnessing it all, the ocean that greets me in the early morning, the summer sun, the birds chattering away. i not only represent trans ancestors, i represent the fruits of refugee labor. thank you to the universe for protecting me all this time. life is beautiful. every day can be a parade 🌹 thank you @savagexfenty, especially the styling and production teams, who held me in a moment of almost-crisis and made me feel like family! big shoutout to @markpaul_ and @akathayz my angels 💘 it’s not easy for the girls to get up in front bright lights, baring a body that we’ve been taught to hate! i felt the care, thoughfulness, diligence, excellence from every person. i love y’all forever for this experience. 🙏🏽 photo: @dennisleupold makeup: the one and only @priscillaono, assisted by @mkupbyyevra hair snatched by @malcolm.marquez, assisted by @anniewyric and @matia.inc styling: @jessicaelisarosales, @markpaul_, @akathayz, @takeadao, @changeofpolish, @lianabribiesca nails: @byjuanalvear, assisted by @shaunaydavis #savagexpride #savagexsummer #pride
