On why Aidan attended the March for Our Lives in Pittsburgh, PA:
“It was important for representation. Black and
Brown children have been and continue to be effected by gun violence and
are constantly living in this police
state at schools.”

It Takes More Than a Day to Acknowledge Black Trans Voices
“Some ask me if it’s harder being Black or Trans, but why what people don’t realize my experience doesn’t have an “or” it has an “and”. Entering black spaces with my Black and Brown rainbow sticker on my laptop, one begins to question my masculinity and blackness and enter white LGBTQ spaces my Black lives matter stick on my laptop, one begins to assume I’m the “angry Black man.” Simply put, being Black and Trans is living a life of your identity constantly being questioned by the communities you belong to.”
