Black trans lives matter

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility. Through a poetic series of personal vignettes, scholar and activist D-L Stewart invites us into the sobering reality of existing as black and trans in a society where your body has been made to feel unworthy. This talk was filmed at TEDxCSU. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
