In this series Kolieboi seeks to empower transmaculine people of color to speak for themselves and document their histories. While the trans community has come a long way there are still substantial gains to be made in terms of visibility and awareness of the full spectrum of the trans community.
Kolieboi believes that one of these under-represented populations is transmasculine people of color. Transfeminine folk of color have been featured in reality programs like America's Next Top Model, I Want to Work for Diddy, and Rupaul's Drag Race (It should be noted that the drag queens who appear on Drag Race are not transgender, but are gender transgressive in the performance of drag), whereas transmasculine folk of color have yet to make similar marks in the media and general consciousness.
