Happy #PrideMonth! When celebrating this month remember: Pride started as a riot, led by Black trans disabled women. Our celebrations should be accessible, intersectional, and political to honor their legacy. 🏳️⚧️ 🏳️🌈
ALT Rainbow header text reads “Pride Should Be”. Beneath are the words “Accessible”, “Intersectional”, and “Political", each paired with a graphic. “Accessible” is a Black person seated in a wheelchair in conversation with another Black person standing next to them. “Intersectional” is a fat person of color holding a trans Pride flag wearing a crop top and shorts with a rainbow. “Political” is an Asian-appearing person wearing a bandana and face mask, holding a yellow protest sign in one hand. Text below reads “Pride began as a riot led by Black transgender disabled women. Our Pride celebrations should honor their legacy.”

53 years ago today.
One week after my 5th birthday.
You were gone.
Assassinated for answering a call to conscience, for speaking truth to power, for being a drum major for justice who sought to rid the world of racism, militarism and poverty.
I miss you. Still. Always.

53 years ago today, my father was taken from this world. 💔
I was only 10 years old when my father was killed, but at the time of his funeral, I fully realized the impact and importance of what my father was trying to do. Create a world of freedom, justice & equality for all. ❤️
