As we close out Black History Month and move into Women’s History Month, this episode of In The Life centers the trans women who are too often erased from both conversations. Today, Dante unpacks the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera—with a deeper focus on Marsha’s revolutionary joy, spiritual defiance, and radical love.
From the streets of New York to the frontlines of the uprising at the Stonewall Inn, this episode explores what it means to survive, to serve, and to shine in a world that tries to erase you. We unpack the founding of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), the cost of activism, and why trans women—especially Black and Brown trans women—are still fighting for safety, visibility, and dignity.
This isn’t just history. It’s a call to accountability, healing, and courage.
Liberation isn’t just political. It’s personal.
