Reflections on a Trans Model's Experience and Activism
Kristina Grant, also known as Kristina Gomez Reinwald, was the 7th of 21 trans persons to be murdered in 2015, according to the Human Rights Campaign. She was 46-years-old. The savagery has only gotten worse, 2020 saw a total of 44 fatal incidents, making it the most violent year on record for trans and non-conforming people. It sickens me and makes me sad that in 2021, vicious brutality continues.Activism is needed when injustice rocks our communities. We arranged a candlelit vigil for Kristina at the Torch of Friendship on Biscayne Blvd.
