Hey Everyone! I guess I should say Happy Pride, but it doesn't feel like the right statement. Although, maybe it is because Pride was started by Black and Brown Trans women who fought back against the police. Pride is old school this year. This week, I want to stay focused on what matters, so this week's segment of Master of a Few is a poetry reading...but it isn't mine. This poetry was written by Black and Brown trans people for a chap book called "We Have Never Asked Permission to Sing." It was released for Trans Day of Remembrance in 2019 and can be downloaded at https://forwardtogether.org/art/we-have-never-asked-permission-to-sing/

I will continue to read from this collection for the next several weeks to raise up the voices of Black and Brown trans people because the very community that gave us Pride is under attack. Find opportunities to get involved with the links below.
