Besides being a former National Organizer for the Transgender Law Center, she also launched the Black Trans Circle. A project focused on developing the leadership of Black trans women in the South and Midwest by creating healing justice spaces to work through oppression-based trauma, incubating community organizing efforts to address anti-trans murder and violence and elevating nuanced narratives through a national storytelling campaign.
