My name is Truth Speaks aka Black Trans Girl in Maine. In 2011, I relocated from North Carolina to Maine in order to be on a whack and toxic missionary team through the Casco Bay Church of Christ. I came here under the guise of a Black, male presenting, straight, cis Christian. I now live my full truth as a Black, Non-binary Trans Woman living in one of the whitest states in America. I’m here to talk to you about my lived experiences. My words are my own and I do not apologize if my reality makes you shutter. Here, at BTGIM, I’ll be talking about anti-Black racism and white supremacy. Ready?
