Black Trans Stories Matter
Live True Storytelling Performance

Saturday, June 12th, 7pm EST

In partnership with the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center, TMI Project is proud to announce its first-ever production of Black Trans Stories Matter, a live virtual true storytelling performance. The stories that will be featured will be read by the people who lived them, and were crafted in a Black trans-led space.

This performance is accessible to an all-inclusive audience. We invite you all to attend with a willingness for deep introspection, courage to transform, and hope each audience member leaves with emboldened inspiration to take action to end systemic racism and transphobia.

This event is open to the public with a suggested donation of $20.
