BLACK TRANS FEMMES
ARE FROM THE
FUTURE
“We exist in bodies that the world has not yet evolved to accommodate. We speak a language that has yet to be written. We claim freedoms that are not yet accessible. But when we create art, we pull pieces of that future into the present—disrupting, reshaping and unraveling the confines of the modern world.”
“I created Black Trans Femmes in the Arts because I wanted Black trans and queer youth to see themselves, to know that there was a future (and a present) full of possibilities for them, and to feel supported and encouraged to be themselves loudly and proudly,”
“There are so many of us that have never had someone to sit down and touch our hand and say: “You can do this. I believe in you. I want to see your art in the world. I want to hear your voice in the world.”
