In the video, you probably can’t hear me too well because I was busy jamming to Rob Base. As I mentioned, that song might tell my age and the era I come from, but it was definitely part of the soundtrack of my life.
Please help us spread the word. Share this post with your family, friends, neighbors, and your village. Let people know that this polling place is here for everyone.
June 1 and June 2 are important days. We have to vote like our lives, our communities, and our resources depend on it.
And before I go, I want to give a special shout out because this actually takes a lot of work to provide a polling place. Shout out to FLUX, The Connie Norman Transgender Empowerment Center, Unique Woman’s Coalition, and all of the tenants in the building who help make this possible. It is definitely a collective effort, and we appreciate everyone who plays a role in ensuring our community has a safe and welcoming place to vote.

Sometimes the loudest conversation isn’t the one in the room… it’s the one in your head. This moment may feel funny, a little uncomfortable, and very real all at once, but that’s exactly the point. Too many men are living in conflict after experiencing connection, attraction, and truth.
This is a reminder to our brothers who are Trans-attracted: stand in your truth. You’ve made every decision in your life to become the man you are today. Don’t let fear, shame, or outside opinions silence one of the most honest parts of who you are. Be whole. It’s an US thing.
Thank you to the content creator for bringing this message forward with intention and impact. We see you, and we appreciate you. bilasquiat
