"Networking" is not about angling to get something out of people. It's not about social climbing or collecting business cards. It's about fostering strong relationships over time. If the only person you care about helping is yourself, you're not going to be very successful at it.

So glad to be connected to work and people who aim to support trans women of color in detroit. @tsocproject housed a TWOC only space for the duration of creating change and last night over 40 trans women broke bread and ki’d together. Looking forward to the next carry💛💛💛💛

"I saw the pilot episode for Femme Queen Chronicles, a series about the lives of four trans women living in Detroit.... it’s a witty, humorous celebration of the lives of Black trans women — a salve for the hyper-visibility of Black trans women’s deaths."
