Beyond the Rainbow: Pride, Prophecy, and the Ongoing Work of Liberation
As Pride Month ends, I’m reflecting on two freedom fighters—one from Haiti’s revolutionary past, the other from New York’s streets today. Romaine-la-Prophétesse, a gender-defying prophet of the Haitian Revolution, and Qween Jean, a Haitian trans activist leading the charge for Black trans liberation, both remind us: the struggle for freedom has always included queer and trans brilliance. Their stories are not separate—they’re part of the same lineage. This post is a love note, a lesson, and a call to remember.
