Chicago's LGBTQ+ community is mourning the tragic deaths of two black trans women.
Episode 1
Saturday, 2 April, 2022

Chicago lost two black trans women within days of each other, yet it received little to no media coverage. In today’s episode, we remember the lives of ‘Tee Tee’ Labelle and Elise Malary. We ask ourselves how can we do better as a community to ensure the safety of trans people.
