Kyra Kruz, who was recently murdered in Philadelphia, with my sibling Che Gossett.
From Che:
"Kyra Kruz and I at Pride 2011, looking magical and fabulous! (She did everyone's makeup and designed all the costumes for the parade theme). Her life was violently taken last week. Anguish and outrage about routinely learning of trans women of color who's lives are prematurely ended by anti-trans violence, be it interpersonal or institutional. Honored to have known Kyra, to have laughed with her, briefly organized a sex worker support group with her, worked in queer and/or trans spaces with her, she brought so much brilliant light and love!"
