At Transcend Memphis, our mission is to empower and uplift the Transgender community in the South.
Hiring transphobic individuals for Pride or trans-focused events is not only careless—it’s harmful.
As someone who lives at the intersection of trans identity and community advocacy, I know firsthand how important intentionality is. Pride should be a space of affirmation, not confusion or contradiction. Yet too often, cisgender allies—especially within the gay community—claim to uplift trans voices while continuing to center harmful narratives or individuals.
We deserve better. We deserve events that reflect our truth, our safety, and our joy.
If you say you stand with trans folks, your actions should reflect that—loudly, clearly, and consistently.
Let’s build spaces rooted in integrity, not just visibility.

I choose my words very wisely.
Trans-ness is not a monolith.
As I approach my 50th birthday, I celebrate the journey of becoming more authentically myself. Each year has shaped the powerful, gender-nonconforming person I am today. I honor my path, my resilience, and the freedom to define who I am on my own terms. This milestone is a testament to my strength, and I embrace the future with pride and joy.
