Reclaiming space, amplifying voices, and fostering solidarity.

In the lived realities of trans and non-binary people, advocacy and visibility are often focused on our impacted communities' oppression. The community is systematically ignored, maligned, erased, and forgotten by their families, communities, and government. Trans Day of Visibility was started to push back against that erasure and bring attention to the staggering amounts of violence inflicted against the TGNCNBI community and push forward the vision of a world where the experiences and futures of trans people are centered and celebrated.

Love on Us 2025

Every year, in celebration of Trans Day of Visibility, The Caribbean Equality Project's Trans Justice Unit hosts Love On Us a community resource fair event to uplift and center the strength of our diverse trans and non-binary Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities, including Afro and Indo-Caribbean immigrants. Love On Us will showcase the vibrancy, strength, and resistance of Caribbean trans people and their allies through a powerful blend of community-driven initiatives, including:

  • Keynote Healers sharing wisdom and practices for wellness and resilience.

  • Knowledge-sharing discussions to address issues such as trans-affirming healthcare, racial justice, economic justice, and mental health.

  • Clothing Drive to support those in need of trans-affirming clothing.

  • Performing Arts as a healing practice of liberation that features live performances and cultural expression.

  • Caribbean-Inspired Food to nourish both body and soul, celebrating the richness of Caribbean culture.

This imagination of TGNC futures amplifies the intersectionality of our communities while creating a space for healing, celebrating trans power and accomplishments, and highlighting the challenges and fellowship needed to foster community building and solidarity. Through storytelling, music, food, and conversation, we’ll reflect on the immense power of trans and non-binary communities, while also calling attention to the need for continued collective action in the fight for justice and equity.
