TransGriot Note: Y'all know how much I love and admire Dr. Marisa Richmond of Nashville, who is one of my role models as to the type of Phenomenal Transwoman I wish to project to the world.
Well, 'Number Two', as Dawn and I call her (our inside joke about being the only African-American IFGE Trinity Award winners and the order in which the three of us received them) was recently honored with the 2008 Baltimore Black Pride Chairwoman's ICON Award for her years of work toward advancing GLBT-issues.
Congrats, sis. The story from Nashville's Out and About follows.
Marisa Richmond, president of the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition (TTPC), has received the 2008 Baltimore Black Pride Chairwoman's ICON Award for her years of work toward advancing GLBT-issues. She accepted the award in Baltimore, Md., on Oct. 11.
