Out on the Hill for My Black Transgender Daughter

On October 11, I had the opportunity to join the National Black Justice Coalition for their annual Out On The Hill Issue Advocacy Day.
I’ve lobbied on Capitol Hill before, going from office to office with various bill numbers in my hand. Every time, I’m driven by the hope that there will be change for my daughter and those like her. This particular event also landed on National Coming Out Day, which added a boost to my desire to tell my family’s story and make the world better for my daughter.
