A New Media Project Celebrating Black Trans Women and Femmes in New York City

The National Black Justice Coalition, a leading national Black LGBTQ+ civil rights organization, is excited to announce the launch of FLOWERS, a new media project that celebrates the lives, legacy, and existence of Black transgender women and femmes in the New York Area.

This project is actively celebrating, documenting, and sharing the lives, work, and legacies of black trans-femmes.”
