Afterlives is a documentary podcast series about trans lives we&rsquo;ve lost and the ways their stories have reshaped our world. Host Raquel Willis brings Marsha&rsquo;s story to life through rare archival interviews and intimate conversations with queer elders, friends, and historians.&nbsp; Legend says she threw the first brick at the Stonewall riots, setting off the modern movement for queer rights. Immortalized by Warhol and known as &ldquo;The Saint of Christopher Street,&rdquo; Marsha was also unhoused, surviving through sex work, navigating violence, and resisting with joy.
