Website: theroadproject.org IG: ROAD_4_us My Background: Visionary creator at heart. Degree in Fashion Design & Licensed Cosmetologist. My focus and trajectory shifted in 2013 when I realized that all my intersecting identities were met with discrimination, particularly as a Black woman of trans experience and a friend killed in Harlem due to transphobia. For this reason, I took my rage and channeled it into addressing radical and gender-based violence and foster healing within BIPOC ( Black, indigenous, people of color) + LGBTQ communities. I have done extensive work as an outreach liaison, conducting safe sex intervention activities for youths & young adults and coordinating educational and job development services at renowned LGBT public service organizations.
