After being nominated last year, it was fantastic to learn that the feature I wrote for Mic along with a team of reporters, Unerased: Counting Transgender Lives, won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Digital Journalism, Multimedia. This award is particularly important to me because of how often trans people are subjects of news but so rarely get to tell our own stories, especially in print journalism where we're so underrepresented. It's a particular honor to receive this award for work that I hope amplifies the voices and lives of my trans siblings, especially trans women and femmes of color who continue to face enormous violence and discrimination.
