Kita Bee was among the first to start working on Troost Avenue and taught several of her fellow trans women how to stay safe and navigate survival and safety. This was an everyday reality for many of our sisters long before safer options for job employment, and housing were available for trans women of color.
She had a very sweet soul. I've got millions of memories of her... She was in her full authentic persona all the time, and that takes guts when you're a trans person. Especially a trans woman of color.
Every time a trans person is killed, it just echoes through the whole community, literally worldwide. It's a huge trauma to the queer community.
