Marsha “Pay it no Mind” Johnson faced oppression from so many different angles as a Black, gay, transgender woman living in poverty. She was at Stonewall for nights of protest/rioting. She was at the first Pride parades. When the Gay Liberation Movement largely left trans voices behind, she refused to be silenced and she helped create one of the first trans rights organizations in North America. She did all of this with an infectious smile on her face and a beautiful spirit guiding each step forward. Listen in for part 2 of our Pride Month focus on American LGBTQ history and learn what it means to beam compassion even when the world wants to take you down.
