Daniella Carter, a Black trans woman and content creator from Queens, recently partnered with GLAAD, the global LGBTQ advocacy organization, to debut a new video discussing the need to center the voices of Black trans and non-binary community members in the midst of today’s current political and social environment, in honor of Pride Month.

Carter interpolated the video with footage of the national #BlackLivesMatter protests including the voices of underserved Black trans communities who have suffered or feel alienated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Still today, the visibility of non-binary people and transmasculine people is dangerously low and trans femmes often are pressured to look and act certain ways.

We can send a loud message resiliency and community by galvanizing multicultural trans voices at a time when trans rights are under attack as the world is finally starting to embrace the fact that #TransLivesMatter.”

Carter’s career spans across digital advocacy and activism and she was featured on the 2015 Trans 100 list.
