Peppermint Instagram – Tonight’s the night, it’s closing night, and I’ve got all types of emotions swirling around. Mostly gratitude, and admiration, gratitude and admiration for Cecilia Gentilly and her perseverance and resilience, gratitude and admiration for the type of community or chosen family that she was able to build, gratitude and admiration for the absolute love and fierce protectiveness those community members and everyone who loved her still holding their eyes, absolute gratitude an admiration for all of the creatives who worked to bring this show to where it is. An absolute gratitude for the opportunity to contribute in any small way. I’m obviously grateful for the chance of having met Cecilia and been inspired by her. I’m grateful for what she actually did for me in giving me guidance very early on as a young trans woman, I had no idea that the words of wisdom that she was imparting on me we’re probably inspired by the trans women who inspired her. I’m grateful that after years of personal struggle, I had more than one option when it came to how to survive in the big city. I know that’s a blessing and a privilege considering how few options most trans women actually have. I’m grateful to everyone who’s come to the show and was touched by Cecilia’s story. This has been one of the most challenging and rewarding artistic experiences I’ve ever had and I will never forget it, and it will inform everything I do from here on out… thank you Cecilia, my sweet Cecilia I hope I made you proud. Xoxo
