“I believe in my power. I believe in your power. I believe in our power. I believe in black trans power.”-Raquel Willis Repost from @raquel_willis • Yesterday changed something in me, in all of us. No longer will we ever doubt whether we are winning or folks are transforming in the ways that we need them to keep us all alive and safe. No longer will we doubt whether it’s possible for the #BlackTransMovement to be elevated and supported. No longer will we doubt #BlackTransPower. . Today starts a new day as sister @thefreeactorvist said in her speech. Transphobia, transmisogyny, and white supremacy ended yesterday. Thanks to @iamwestdakota, @fransquishco, @elielcruz, @peytondix, @mobaby, and so many more who stepped up to provide space for Black trans people. Y'all modelled how glorious true allyship can be. We salute you. And to all my beautiful, brilliant Black trans people who spoke and showed up and showed out—I love you and let’s keep this fire burning! . Our movements, our liberation WILL be built of the little reclamations of power we heard in that crowd of 15,000 yesterday. We won’t go back. For Marsha, for Sylvia, for @doroshow, for @deedeechamblee, for @missmajor1, for Layleen, Rem’mie, Riah, Tony, Nina, Monika, Chyna, and countless more. This was #BrooklynLiberation. This is just the start. . 📸: @colewitter
