Women’s history is not complete without the voices of ALL women. This Women’s History Month and Zero Discrimination Day, we honor the legacies of trailblazers who fought fiercely for justice. Trans women are women. Every woman’s story deserves to be celebrated, uplifted, and remembered.

A wooden table with a notebook and pen featuring the Progress Pride flag and an old photo of Wake Forest, next to a glass mug of tea with a lemon slice.
So, what are we all doing these days? Is this a safe space? How can we make it even better?
In between chaos these days, I’m still hopeful of what our community of authentic humans can accomplish.
This year, we celebrate harder than ever our bravery. We deserve fun, laughter and QUEER JOY!
