As a transwoman I know the state of Texas has is not a safe place to live. It is also important to find the joy of being Queer. Don't be as miserable as the people trying to criminalize our lives....

The bulk of my experience is working with BIPOC women. When working with clients, my goal is not to tell clients what to do.
