    ❤Purity is one of the most genuine, beautiful and passionate people I know. Her resilience regardless of her horrific experiences in Africa is awe inspiring. Her work for the black trans community is committed and so needed in these dark times, when being who you are is considered a crime in some countries. I thank the Gods that Purity is thriving in her new home ❤. Sadly she is just one of many other trans people in Africa who desperately need to relocate to live a safe life. I am grateful that Purity found safety in her new home and hope many more LGBTQI+ citizens of the world can do the same. I love you Purity and I am dancing with you always ❤

    I thought this was one of the most touching, inspirational speeches I have ever seen. I come from a background where I am fortunate enough to not have to make any of those three decisions.
