Monica Roberts | January 16, 2020 Wow. Rea Carey, the Creating Change leadership team, the Dallas CC20 Organizing Committee, Barbara Satin, Creating Change 2020 attendees, my Houston activist family, and my trans siblings.
I am beyond thrilled and excited to be honored with this award, the Susan J Hyde Award for Longevity in the Movement. Even better is the knowledge that I’m receiving it in my home state.
