Amid the rising tide of anti-Black and anti-Trans violence across the country, our community gathered in full force. With seats filled by chosen family, coworkers, longtime supporters, and new faces alike, this wasn’t just a show—it was a movement in motion. Together, we raised our voices, our hearts, our laughs and our tears (the good ones) in critical support for the ongoing work to decriminalize our people, defend Trans youth, and ensure that Black and Trans communities across Washington State have access to housing, safety, and dignity.

The night was headlined by none other than the iconic TS Madison, who returned to our stage with brilliance, humor, and soul-stirring truth. All of the performances brought us to tears and to our feet. We laughed. We cried. We healed.

For four years now, this showcase has served as a sanctuary—a place where Black and Trans people can breathe, be seen, and be celebrated in the fullness of our humanity. This year was no different. It reminded us that showing up is not symbolic—it’s sacred. It’s solidarity in action.

Thank you to everyone who came through, donated, laughed, and stood with us. This work doesn’t stop here. We invite you to keep building with us—because our survival is just the beginning. Our joy is strategy. And our future is nothing short of brilliant.

Stay ready. Stay rooted. Stay loud.
