WE AS TRANS, NONBINARY, 2SPIRIT, AND QUEER BLACK, BROWN, INDIGENOUS, PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BRIDGE BETWEEN WORLDS. TO THOSE OF US THAT HAVE HAD OUR WORLDS DENIED OF US, TREATED AS INSIGNIFICANT, OR MISCONSTRUED: YOUR DREAM OF FUTURE, PAST, AND PRESENT IS ALIVE AND BEAUTIFUL.I LOVE YOU. NOOLUEMEK’ 사랑해요 I WILL ECHO THAT LOVE IN EVERY LANGUAGE MY ANCESTORS ONCE SPOKE, & HOPE IT TRANSLATES INTO EVERY LANGUAGE OF YOURS.
