Monica Beverly Hillz Instagram – 📢 2024 was hard. But we are harder to erase.
Today, we’re proud to release our 20-page Impact Report, documenting a year of resilience, creativity, and trans power across Missouri, Kansas, NW Arkansas, and the Ozarks. 💥🏳️⚧️
Led by trans women of color, Transformations emerged in 2016 in response to the epidemic of violence targeting Black and Brown trans femmes. We’ve always fought back—with strategy, with art, and with community.
🖤 From the frontlines to the page, our 2024 Impact Report reflects the deep shifts we faced—including a $250,000 shortfall from failed philanthropic promises that forced us to delay Liberation Camp, our flagship leadership program.
In the words of our ED, Merrique Jenson:
“Despite the financial losses and the shifting priorities of funders, Transformations innovated, adapted, and refused to be erased. When resources were scarce, we leaned into our creativity. 2024 proved we are not just organizers—we are artists, cultural strategists, and movement-builders.”
🌹 This year we:
✔️ Launched Path of Roses, a groundbreaking cultural strategy project with Monica Beverly Hillz blending organizing, art & music
✔️ Helped lead the first Eureka Springs Trans Family Pride
✔️ Grew our National Community Advisory Board
✔️ Doubled down on joy, safety & visibility for trans girls of color
This report was written by our 2024 CAB Chair Donato Fatuesi, with contributions from Merrique Jenson (ED), Jade Careaga & Jaron Goto (CAB Leaders), and Susie McClannahan (Board Chair).
