********************************
A trans* woman of color, hearing Reina Gossett's lived experience is enough to captivate. Add to this years of meaningful experience in activism and community organization, in film-making and research, in writing and social justice work, and her growing recognition begins to make sense.
Reina offers a unique perspective on the experiences of LGBTQ/GNC (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender non-conforming) people, especially those who are also people of color and those of low-income backgrounds, bringing new light to social justice activism and challenging even the most critical advocates for social justice.
