It’s nearing the end of the group project that I’m working on for TransWellBeing. It’s been a very interesting project to work on. I’ve been collecting a lot of resources and people to highlight during this project. Additionally, I can use some of the social media aspect of what I’ll be using for my portfolio at the end of the semester. I am working on a lot of things for the project that includes a video and other postings for the trans community.

For my video, I will highlighting the current exhibition on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It’s called Vision 2020: Jess T. Dugan. This exhibit highlights the narratives that are being shared by older transgender folks living their lives authentically, despite going through many challenges along the way. One of the main purposes of the exhibit is to showcase trans people to color and the racial injustice that occurred this past summer with the murder of George Floyd. The video will serve as an introduction for anyone wanting to get a glimpse of what its like to live your life as an older trans person. I will also make another blog post to provide additional resources.

For the blog articles, I will posting more trans people of color from Minnesota that have made history or currently in the news. There are about at least 3 people that I can certainly talk about and share on social media.

I will be hard at work the next week making the final blog posts for the project, but I think its going in the right direction. If I do have extra time, I would like to make a quick infographic on the stats on trans services in the state of Minnesota.
