Monica Roberts, writer of the blog TransGriot, gave a lecture at Bryn Mawr Tuesday about transgender issues from an African-American perspective.

Roberts, 47, was the third African-American transperson to receive International Foundation for Gender Education Trinity Award in 2006, the "second highest honor" award in the transgender community.

"I'm not just any old blogger," Roberts said. "I have been a witness to and a chronicler of transgender history."
