Dr. Kortney Ryan Ziegler on Empowering the Transgender Community
Toni Newman, The Huffington Post, 10/02/2013 6:58 pm

Dr. Kortney Ryan Ziegler is a writer, filmmaker, producer, artist and activist fighting for social justice in the trans community. In 2013 he was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Blog; he was the first African-American trans man to be nominated for a GLAAD Media Award. He is the founder of Who We Know, a paid fellowship focused on creating products and developing initiatives that economically empower the transgender community of color.

Dr. Ziegler is being honored with the Authentic Life Award by the Transgender Law Center, the largest transgender advocacy organization in the U.S., at their 2013 Spark! event on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013, at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel's Empire Ballroom in San Francisco.

My interview with Dr. Ziegler discusses race, gender, the fight for equality and the empowerment of the transgender community.
