Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. This day was started after a trans black woman was murdered on November 29th, 1998. A candlelight vigil was held the following Friday on December 4th. Her death inspired many TDOR events across  the country and around the world.

Today, I want everyone to honor these people for the positive things that they’ve in their communities.
