Trans Voices: A Day of Community and Culture

After two very successful Fall Youth Retreats, Sam & Devorah was ready to expand our reach and host events for trans young adults ages 18 to 22. For our first event of this kind, we planned a special day-long celebration of trans community and culture through film, literature, peer-led discussions, and other fun activities! We hoped that this would be a unique opportunity to explore and learn about the vibrant history of cultural contributions by the trans community. We were lucky enough to be able to partner with poet Cameron Awkward-Rich and filmmaker Jules Rosskam to bring together a day of writing workshops, film screenings, and discussions!

The day was set to take place in early June 2020 in Philadelphia. Although this event has been put on hold during the Coronavirus outbreak, we are excited to bring it to life in summer 2021.
