Deshawnda Sanchez

I drew this in response to violence against black trans women and after Deshawnda Sanchez's death and how little attention it was getting. As trans women themselves have been saying, we also need to pay more attention to those still around and support them in life, in thriving.
Inspired by work of Micah Bazzant and Rommy Torrico.
