We are looking at 25% unemployment in the African American community as a whole. The unemployment rate for trans people is estimated to be at 40%, which is why we are angry about ENDA not being passed or perturbed that we have not seen the language for this bill.
If African descended people have employment, that means they have money in their purses and pockets to spend and help support Black businesses in the community. If you are a Black business owner and take the time to hire a qualified Black transperson, it is a win-win situation that helps you, the Black community and the African descended trans community at the same time.
