*Re-Release* There is no more appropriate episode for me to publish today, the 50th anniversary of #Stonewall and #Pride, than this one. Please listen.
Happy Pride!
Episode 11 of #DontMentionIt - My conversation with Lilianna Reyes, Second Stories Director at the Ruth Ellis Center & Co-Executive Director of the Trans Sistas of Color Project. We talk about the Ruth Ellis Center, life for trans women of color, and about the role racism and privilege play in access to resources for people of color in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Note: This episode contains difficult subject matter including violence against trans women of color and survival sex work.
