Peppermint Instagram – Can you tell I was angry when I wrote this speech? I was nervous but Receiving the Trans Vanguard Award from @reach_la is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Reach LA uplifts and celebrates LGBTQIA people of color and their communities, creating a space that educates, inspires, and empowers youth around sexual and reproductive health, culture, and self-preservation. For them to recognize my activism as part of that mission is an honor beyond words. Thank you, Reach LA! 🙏
I’m so grateful for those who support and uplift our community, giving us opportunities to thrive. And to those who’ve tried to tear us down, thank you for showing us our strength. 💪 I especially want to thank the queer community for being an impermeable, solid source of inspiration and liberation, not only for the LGBTQIA community, for so many across the world. 🌎 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈 | Posted on 04/Mar/2025 01:24:14
