There’s been yet another murder of an innocent black trans woman

2020 has been a hell-of-a-year. And for black trans women — they’ve been killed at an alarmingly high rate over the past year (with little done on a political level to address the issue.). This week saw yet another addition to the growing violent murder(s) against trans women with the death of Aja Raquell Rhone-Spears.
