Dear Marsha
Dear Marsha is an annual event that takes place during the third week of November, offering a poignant and artistic exploration of transgender individuals' experiences. This unique gathering provides a platform for individuals to connect, not only through spoken and visual art but also through meaningful dialogues and the process of healing. "Dear Marsha" serves as a heartfelt tribute to the life and enduring legacy of Marsha P. Johnson, while also amplifying the voices and showcasing the faces that represent the joys and challenges of today's TGNC community. Through its powerful narratives and creative expressions, "Dear Marsha" illuminates the resilience and strength of the community, fostering understanding and empathy among all who participate.
Trans Alliance & Empowerment Party
The annual Trans Alliance and Empowerment Party, affectionately known as the TEA Party, takes place on the third Sunday of November each year. Hosted by The Mahogany Project in collaboration with Save Our Sister United, this event is a multifaceted celebration of unity, empowerment, and community support. It begins with a delightful brunch, providing attendees with a warm and inviting space for connection and relaxation. Beyond its festive nature, the TEA Party serves as a vital fundraiser, channeling resources into initiatives that address the pressing needs of TGNC individuals. The highlight of the event is the awards ceremony, where outstanding Black and POC TGNC Houstonians, as well as allies, are honored for their remarkable contributions to the community. These accolades not only recognize past achievements but also inspire others to become advocates for positive change. The TEA Party fosters upward mobility, allocates resources to essential services, and underscores the importance of community activism, leadership development, and civic engagement within the TGNC community, fostering a brighter future for all.
