Honoring the Transgender Day of Remembrance, NMAC (formerly known as the National Minority AIDS Council) has just released a tender tribute to transgender women of color, including those taken from us too soon.
Peppermint, Mila Jam, and Deja “The Lady Deja Davenport” Smith star in the vid, set to Sia’s song “Alive.” Shot in New York City, the video features transgender women of color going about their everyday lives.
Friends and family of other transgender people appear as well, honoring their fallen loves.Related: After 2 decades, why is the Transgender Day of Remembrance still so important?“Today is an important day for us all to reflect on those who we lost, and celebrate those who are still here,” Peppermint says of the project.
