#12 transgender day of remembrance *with Merrique Jenson*

from Qweird · host Nicole Yve

To commemorate TDOR, we wanted to talk to someone whose passion is to lift up trans & gender expansive folx of color, who are the most impacted by transphobic violence.  Merrique Jenson is just this person. She's the Director of SocialScope Productions & Program Director at Transformations in Kansas City, and she is an all-around bad ass. She describes herself as a queer, trans, & multiracial artist & advocate. We describe her as a #tranthropologist. She's a beautiful mouthful, and we really loved this conversation. Thank you, Merrique! Links & Sources: Rita Hester, Language of Respect, penguins, Menashi, Alunte, Timothy, Paris, trans hockey team, it's so cold in the D, 2019 victims. Be weird & stay queer!
