25 YEARS OF REMEMBRANCE, BUT OUR LEGACY GOES FURTHER BACK

TRANSGENDER LEGACY CEREMONY

One of the many Black trans women who were murdered and sparked the annual memorial known as Transgender Day of Remembrance is Rita Hester. Although she was killed in Massachusetts, she grew up in the Dutch Point projects of Hartford CT, and attended Buckley High School. I was born and live in Hartford CT... Many may not know this chapter of Black history due to marginalization within the queer community.


I’m hosting a Pretty in Pastel Colors event at a mansion in Hartford CT, located at 12 Charter Oak Pl from 7pm-9pm, on Tuesday November 28th. It includes an illuminated art exhibit, potluck dinner, music, words of empathy, and a celebration of life. The theme is “Living how we want to be remembered”.


If it is within your ability to honor our community, elders, and ancestors that paved the way, I could use your help with the following...


* Curating queer art - BookEphraimAdamz@gmail.com

* Support my online wish list to have supplies.

* Decorating the mansion - Nov 20th-27th

*Showing up in person on Nov 28th.

*Meal sharing at the event.

* Getting the word out.

*Engaging in community conversation


I’m paying money to use the space and it cannot be gentrified through any social media or publications. Thank you deeply.

Transgender LeGACY FLAG

   I’ve created a flag to memorialize Black and brown bodies lost to anti-transgender violence. The new Transgender Legacy Flag will fly publicly on Pratt Street in Hartford CT from November 20th, 2023 - November 28th, 2023.


Black is placed at the center of what I’ve re-envisioned as the “Transgender Legacy Flag” or “Transgender Remembrance Flag”, because so much resilience has been built off the bloodshed of Black and brown bodies


For familiarity I’ve placed the triangular format of the Progressive Pride Flag on both sides to insinuate an hourglass, symbolizing past, present, future, and legacy.


In the hat to your right is Chanelle Reign. To your left in the black is Ṣáléwá-Iman Devina Joell DelTaurea.

THE MODEL MINORITY LAUNCHES DURING aaPI month

As the COVID pandemic brought the conversation of racial disparities to the forefront in new ways, so did we.

TheModelMinority.com is a website that highlights past and current examples of Black and Asian solidarity. The idea came to Ephraim Adamz after writing and recording the song "Stop Asian Hate / Solidarity" as a form of peaceful protest. The song and website was launched during May in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The landing page is in its early stages, but over time will be packed with content to move the movement forward. The mission is to curate a hub of information that embraces the unity between the two communities in a way that is both intersectional and affirming. When participants arrive at the homepage the first thing they will see is a welcome greeting from transgender rights activist Gia Gunn of RuPual's Drag Race

nEW MUSIC ALERT - STOP ASIAN HATE ANTHEM
