The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) reported that at least 16 transgender or gender-nonconforming individuals have lost their lives by either a firearm or other forms of brutality in 2020.

Riah Milton, a Black trans woman, is believed to be the 14th transgender individual killed in the United States this year.

A 14-year-old girl and two men lured Milton to an area with the intent to steal her car, eventually fatally shooting her.

That same week, in Philadelphia, the remains of Black transgender woman Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells were discovered near the Schuylkill River, WPVI reported.

As the nation continues to rally for Black lives, the following five speeches help to illustrate the reality of what it's like to be both Black and trans in a nation that continually needs reminding that all Black lives matter.
