It's December and communities everywhere are celebrating the holidays in a plethora of ways. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa or just great times with friends and family – “Tis the season to be jolly” - Right?
Unfortunately for the Transgender community, amidst the holiday festivities, is the glaring reality that for transphobic hate, bigotry and violence it’s just another day. There was an attack on December 12 in Washington DC and two days later 26-year-old Brandi Seals was found dead in front of a house under construction in Houston,TX. For Transgender women and men, especially those of color, peace on earth and good will toward them remains elusive.

Filling the gap between political activism/advocacy and the day-to-day realities of living as Trans, especially as a trans woman of color is,.  Bre Anne Campbell is one of the founders and Executive Director of TSOCP which was founded in 2015 by a group of concerned Detroit community activists in direct response to the growing number of murders of trans women and gender non-conforming people.  The Trans Sistas of Color Project (TSOCP) works to uplift, influence and impact the lives and wellbeing of trans women of color in Metro Detroit.

Campbell shares her story and talks about the work of TSOCP to help Transwomen navigate the hazads of being trans in the metro Detroit area and across the country,
