Kita Bee, 46, a Black trans woman from Kansas City, Missouri Kita Bee is the 15th person whose death is recorded in 2024. She is the ninth trans woman on this list, the 11th trans person. of color, the third Black trans woman, and the fifth Black trans person. As of today, we have documented the death of a trans neighbor every 8.2 days. Since 2020, six trans folx have been killed in Missouri. These include: Amber Minor (2023), DeeDee Kandi Redd (2022) Dominique Lucious (2021) Nina Pop (2020) Aerrion Burnett (2020) as well as Kita. What resonates with me about Kita’s story is the acknowledgment that mentorship of other Black trans women in her street family was as iconic as any other type of leadership. She helped countless trans woman (and likely others) navigate hostile terrain to meet their basic needs. She participated in peer led programs. There’s no need to pretty up her reality or to pity her. Assuring her family can cremate her and have a proper service is what’s needed now. And then leaders in Kansas City and Missouri (and everywhere) have to invest resources in other members of Kita’s street family to avoid similar outcomes. Rest in power, Kita. You navigated an uphill battle for many years, giving of yourself to help others while fighting for your own needs. You deserved to be able to cross the street in safety. You deserved both drivers stopping to check on you and take responsibility for their actions. You mattered. Fleeing like cowards while your life ebbed away is unforgiveable. I hope local leaders can find any way to make the streets safer for your family. I am so very sorry we did not do that for you. #RIP #KitaBee #Transgender #Trans #TransWoman #BlackTransWoman #KansasCity #Missouri #hitandrun #killing #death #BlackLivesMatter #BIPOC #WOC #QTPOC

I’ve been waiting 20+ years to see this man in concert. I remember printing out the lyrics to 7 Days and practicing every day after school in the hopes of emulating his soulful vocals and inheriting his incredible talent. He changed the game and shaped my musical taste for many, many years to come. What a legend.

If you pay close attention to this page, you’ll realize that I never post self-portraits. It’s hard to admit, but I seldom feel compelled to turn the lens on myself—rarely am I my own muse. I’m far more content existing behind the lens (and consequently) behind the scenes. When the instructor of the fashion photography course I’m taking this month announced that we would kick off the term by presenting self-portraits, I froze. In fact, my first email to her read: “I have a lot of tension with self-portraiture, much of which stems from gender dysphoria. As a trans/non-binary person who is still in the process of seeking gender-affirming treatment, I typically avoid being in front of another's lens, and similarly seldom feel compelled to make images of myself. If there is some alternative to the self-portrait that I can bring to our first session, please let me know and I will prepare it.” In naming and confront this discomfort, I realized there was substance to my trepidation, the medicalization of transness, the feeling of existing mid-journey, trapped in liminal spaces between the origin and destination. These self-portraits name this feeling, how it creeps, constricts, encroaches, and disorients. muse photography styling: alexwebsterphoto mua: sterlingtullnyc ty to badgurlpari for the corset #qtpoc #queer #photography #queerlove #qtpoclove #lgbt #queerartist #queerart #nonbinary #queerphotographer #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #queer #nycphotographer #blackart #portraitphotography #blackphotographer #melanin
This topic and thought came up recently in a coaching session. We can’t ignore that there’s a fixed and unrealistic, supremacy based, standard of beauty that’s inundating our eyes and minds. In the face of said beauty standard, practicing thoughts like “it’s ok I don’t look like someone else,” can be freeing and help you feel more comfortable in your own skin You’re one of a kind. There’s no other you and THAT’s beautiful. Remember: ✨ Practice self-care: Take care of your physical and mental well-being by engaging in activities that make you feel good. ✨ Replace self-criticism with self-compassion and loving inner dialogue . ✨ Spend time with supportive and uplifting people who appreciate you for who you are. ✨ Acknowledge your unique qualities and talents, and celebrate them. #bipoc #qtpoc #lgbtq #lgbtqia #queer #shaman #reiki #tarot #manifest #confidence #selfconfidence #beautystandard #beauty #manifest #lawofattraction

A shoutout to amazing artist Parisa Parnian aka @savage_taste/ @savagemuse, an Iranian-American multi-disciplinary visual artist and culinary creative. She uses food, design and performative storytelling to build bridges and connect communities. Parisa’s focus is on the colorful intersections of ancestral traditions meeting the very modern and often subversive world that she inhabits. She recently launched her own spice blend called PÉRXICAN- which is a celebration of cultural fluidity and the marriage of Persian + Mexican flavors. --- Repost: I love the Mexican (and Mexican-American) tradition of creating and sharing tamales with family and friends during the holiday season. It reminds me a lot of the Iranian and Levantine/SWANA traditions of gathering together to create large batches of dolma (stuffed grape leaves). As part of my current holiday art installation, I created this joyful muse, Mx. Hot Tamale as well as a platter full of technicolor tamales for the feasting table/altar. I am offering Mx. Hot Tamale as both art prints and some home/kitchen accessories in my shop. Link in bio. You can catch all the technicolor creative offerings I have for you now until January 4th at my art installation up at: 1215 Third Street, Santa Monica.

Sabrina Imbler, Dyke (geology) (2020) and Henry Hoke, Open Throat (2023) I recently read two short, lyrical books that think about the environment in unique, personal ways. I loved Sabrina Imbler’s How Far the Light Reaches, and it was one of my favorite books of 2022. Dyke (geology) also braids descriptions of the natural world with reflections on queerness and race. The title, of course, is and isn’t about geology. “If there were stone butches, there may well by granite dykes.” Imbler thinks about magnetism, fractures, types of attraction and history. Their writing is always strong, but I think not as impactful in this short of a format—this chapbook won’t stick with me the way that How Far the Light Reaches has. I’d heard good things about Open Throat, but didn’t realize how much it would feel like a novel-in-verse, which is a plus for me! It is a novel with a plot, but its grammar and flow felt much more rooted in poetry to me. This tale of an urban lion is based on the real life P-22, who lived in Los Angeles’s Griffith Park for years after crossing several interstates. This fictional lion in “allay” is lonely from other lions, working through some daddy issues, and constantly encountering people. It’s a certain kind of Angeleno who crosses the lion’s orbit—they’re hiking, they talk about what they miss from New York—raising questions about outdoor public spaces in a very diverse urban area. The lion has never eaten a person—“I can’t eat everything I’m afraid of.” After an earthquake, they become more entangled with human life, and one life in particular. Most often, though, people view the lion as a threat, or bother them. As with Dyke (geology), I found the writing in Open Throat to be lyrical and captivating, often very emotional, yet still wanted more. Perhaps varying the writing style a bit more could have been an interesting move. It also felt like it ended quickly. I enjoyed these two short reads, though I’m not sure that either was transformative.
April was a f**king whirlwind. I spoke to 2k+ people. I organized. I sold a book. Was honored by the @thewebbyawards and was nominated for an award by the @shortyawards. I met Shrek and met @therealabbylee. Hope May is just as wild/random/fun. 😎 • • • #aprildump #instadaily #instaqueer #instagay #instajoy #instafun #lgbtq #qtpoc #joy #instagood #instalike #instamood
