Jamaican trans activists describe their struggle to maintain their creative fashion work in an intensely exploitative system. They discuss ambivalence about staying in Jamaica or seeking asylum elseware. We bring you an excerpt of sound from the event Amanda Taylor organized at the Barnard Center for Research on Women, titled Black, Queer & Trans: Mobilizing in the Caribbean and Beyond.

On May 10, 2022 East 68 Street at Lexington Ave. in Manhattan, was renamed Audre Lorde Way. This is notable as Lorde attended both Hunter High School and Hunter College located on that very street. In addition she went on to become a professor of poetry there in 1981. Scholars, politicians, lesbian activists and students gathered to give remarks on this auspicious occasion, three of which are presented to night: YA author Jaqueline Woodson, Historian Professor Blanche Wiesen Cook and professor of anthropology Dr. Jacqueline Nassy Brown.
