One of the questions I get asked often by many people I come in contact with is whether or not I get tired of being a role model.
Nope. It comes with the territory of being an trans activist. Many times the first contact a person may have had with an out African descended transperson is me.
I'm cognizant of the fact that as one of three African-American winners of the IFGE Trinity Award, I represent not only myself but an entire community.
