Black Trans Empowerment Week

  

A space to celebrate all things Black & Trans

Black Trans Empowerment Week celebrates the life, legacy, and love of Black Trans people, specifically Black Women of Trans Experience. At this moment, transgender women of color are living in crisis, more than 150 transgender people have been killed in the United States, nearly all of them Black Women of Trans Experience. The Trans Empowerment and Alliance Party served as a celebration towards healing, honoring, and sustaining ourselves during BTEW.

During this time, we honor three individuals (or agency) with the following awards ‘The Chyna Gibson Community Advocate Man of the Year’, ‘The Chyna Gibson Woman of The Year’ and ‘The Freda McFarland Community Ally of The Year Award’.
