We African descended transwomen not only have to battle the ugliness that the world hurls at us and Black ciswomen in general, but also have to deal with elements of our own families and our community taking self esteem shattering potshots at us as well.

As an old African-American saying goes, 'Nobody will think you're somebody, if you don't think so yourself.'

So yes, it's important for me and every African descended trans woman to not only think we're somebody, but stand tall, proud and know we ARE somebody as well.

I think that's true for all transpeople of every flavor
