Location: Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning: 16104 Jamaica Ave, Jamaica, NY 11432
To commemorate Trans Day of Visibility 2024, join Caribbean Equality Project and our community partners for Love On Us: A Trans Health, Wellness & Healing Resource Fair on Saturday, March 302024, starting at 5 pm at the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (161-04 Jamaica Ave, Queens, NY 11432).
The Caribbean Equality Project's Trans Justice Unit is hosting a “Trans Health, Wellness & Healing'' community resource fair event to uplift and center the strength of our diverse trans and non-binary Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, including Afro and Indo-Caribbean immigrants. In the lived realities of trans and non-binary people, advocacy and visibility are often focused on our impacted communities' oppression. Our community is systematically ignored, maligned, erased, and forgotten by our families, communities, and government. Trans Day of Visibility was started to push back against that erasure and bring attention to the staggering amounts of violence inflicted against the TGNCNBI Community.
The event will feature keynote healers, knowledge-sharing discussions, a FREE pop-up clothing distribution, and performing arts as a healing practice of liberation. The program will embody Caribbean culture through food to nourish our bodies, stories of empowerment, and beats by a live DJ. This imagination of TGNC futures will amplify the intersectionality of our communities while creating a space for healing, celebrating Trans power and accomplishments, and highlighting the challenges and fellowship needed to foster community building and solidarity.
CEP's Trans Justice Unit is organizing this FREE community trans-focused event. If you have any questions, please email Trans Justice Coordinator, Tiffany Jade Munroe, at Tiffany@caribbeanequalityproject.org.
