I walked paths that deserved to remember that I was there, that I felt like I belonged and in a way I wanted people to remember me, not as a shocking, allegorical figure, but rather a common and living image. I often feel that for us, black trans women, to be safe we need to know a lot of people, we need to be in the spotlight to have a minimum of security and legitimacy as citizens.
I want to delve deeper into this dialogue with my existence and corporeality, demarcating body and territory.
