Miss Major Speaks: The Life and Times of a Black Trans Revolutionary by Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective
“our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. you make the best of it all and hope you can help make it better for the gurl after you.” 

i started reading this book back in june, on the way to have some post-work drinks with my friends at a queer sports bar and felt incredibly reflective on my way home that night. how privileged i am to be bisexual woman in this day and age to live a beautiful and fulfilling life that would not be without those who came before me. i’m grateful for their time and work, for the insights shared here, and for the hope of a better world. loved reading the conversation between miss majors and meronek, you can tell there is a deep and genuine love between them <3 and through all the hardships and roadblocks and strife, the highlight of community and action was one that will stick with me for a long time. an essential read for anyone who is even mildly interested in queer liberation and trans history!
