As a gay, disabled, biracial woman, I feel like there’s no place for me in Trump’s America. I worry that all the hard fought battles for rights like equality and access to the same world that other people enjoy is going to be lost in this administration. All the effort I put into getting myself…

Although I really wanted to attend the Washington March the time and energy involved along with concerns for bio breaks along the way prevented me from physically joining the march. In addition to showing our solidarity I believe it’s of paramount importance to remind all of our sisters…
