Reclaim Pride – Reclaiming Our History. Claiming Our Future.
"To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, I sought to honor a few of the trans women of color who were at the forefront of the rebellion. With Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, I find strength in knowing that I have ancestors who paved the way for who I am; with Miss Major, I find comfort in how she's still here, still actively fighting for queer and marginalized communities. Reclaiming Pride means recognizing the strides we've made while acknowledging how far we have to go." —Colin Laurel
