Black trans families are building worlds of their own. And on April 16 we are making space to celebrate that. 💜

Beyond the Binary: Black Trans Family Building in a World Not Built for US is a conversation that centers what does not get centered enough. The joy, the chosen kin, the brilliance, and boundless ways Black trans families use to build, protect, and sustain themselves within systems that were never designed with them in mind.

Register now at bit.ly/btfb26.

This is not a panel about survival alone. It is a conversation about how Black trans families are thriving, on their own terms, in spite of everything.

Join us virtually on April 16 at 6PM ET.

Our stories deserve to be witnessed. Our families deserve to be celebrated.

On April 4, in collaboration with Jayd Tandy Photography, we’re hosting a BIPOC Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Photoshoot—a loving tribute to the mothers, birthing people, and families who nurture our communities every day.

This is your moment in front of the camera. This is our moment together.
