For the past few days I have had some time to really reflect. During those days I reviewed Queer History in specifics to Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. These women are the inspiration for the org I am currently building.
The org I am building is called the Pink Triangle Revolutionaries and it is co-founded by Ali Hart. We expect to be back in running January of 2024. If anyone is interested in joining the movement please hit me and Ali up on tik tok. We are currently rebuilding our social media accounts to reflect this change.
Most of you know that darkness has been so strong and the light has not been shining enough. Empathy and compassion is what is missing in this country. We must demonstrate this because I can tell you as a therapist the clients I have been seeing some have been losing hope. Some are scared to be themselves and even as my time as an activist I read it and see it.
My heart breaks so hard and makes me angry at the same time. I can tell you I am glad to those that are reaching out because I know that feeling of being alone with virtually no one to support you. I would want someone to check in with me and make sure I’m ok. Do know this is why I am an activist as well. Pain is my motivation for change. I’m tired of our voices being silent more or less feeling like we can’t use them.
Although Marsha and Sylvia were revolutionaries, they celebrated their pride and empowered those in many formats. These two women were truly altruistic and selfless. They inspire me and when I’m in my lowest moments I listen to their words and their stories and I am reminded that I can’t give up and neither should you.
I have had numerous conversations with many people. One conversation in particular really stuck out to me. Me and this person’s journey in terms of our friendship had a rocky start but managed to reconnect later. We both realized life is too short to hold onto any grudges. We both recognized we were both early in our growth in terms of our advocacy.
We both have been going through some similar things such as identifying our own meanings and purpose. What I can tell from the 38 years that I have been alive, it’s ok to not know right now. Each encounter that you have with life you will learn something about yourself.
Because of these two things this has inspired me to come back out into the world as Noah a.k.a. The Stigma Fighter. I am unapologetic, compassionate, a soon to be registered APCC, and more importantly a human being.
Everyone please stay safe and much ❤️to you all 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈!
