hey everyone I have exciting news! your fave tboy officially has his top surgery date💋🎉✨!

super excited, kinda nervous, very giddy, a tad bit overwhelmed haha. I have faith that my community will help me out and pull through! raising $$$ bc I ran out of PTO and will have to take unpaid time off.

all money raised goes towards top surgery copay, medicine, food prep, transportation costs etc. I don’t have a car or much of a bio fam so I will rely on a network of friends and chosen family for support🫶🏿💐. Many of my chosen family are struggling Black Trans Folks therefore I wanna pay them for their help, especially if some will take time away from work to help me out.

Additionally I’ll need to find pet sitters to care for my fur babies while I’m recovering. As yall can see my Zoukie Bear is huge so I won’t be able to walk him for at least a months time.

If you’d like to Zelle me send me DM. If you’d like to be a collaborator on future posts to help me boost outreach and visibility lmk! Any interactions with this post helps boost traction.

Shoutout to @phillytmoc @blacktransmutualaid @underground.laboratories @bbbiblioteca for always uplifting Black Trans People 🖤✊🏿 taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @ts.boukman

Hey there, all : )

I wanted to share another update as September moves along!

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks pursuing the housing leads that have come my way. I’ve looked into rooms and had some promising conversations, but nothing has quite come together into a home yet—I’m continuing to look for somewhere to move by September 30th.

If you hear of an affordable room opening up, I’d genuinely love to hear from you. I really value whatever folks may know or come across, even if you’re not sure whether it’ll be the right fit. A lot of the leads I’ve received have come through people passing my name along, so sharing this post helps immensely too ~<3

I’ve received $125 toward my $2,500 moving goal so far. Every contribution helps make this transition a little more stable and gives me more room to work with as I find my next home.

Venmo: @upbeatsea
PayPal: @dirtdessert

All the care people have shown me through this has really softened my heart. I trust in whatever is coming next, and I’m deeply thankful for everyone helping me find my way there.

Yours,

Dirt by @ts.boukman

As Beyoncé said a Diva is a Female version of a hustler AND THAT is EXACTLY what Jamie is. Our sister has had a turbulent year. We almost lost her in a near fatal car accident that left her having to heal and recover for months. Despite this and ongoing housing issues shes managed to stay dedicated and focused on her school. We are immensely proud of her and are rooting for her well-being in this new and exciting chapter.💗

U.G.L. and friends are raising $3500 for our girl to be able to move into secure housing that she can call home. This would allow her to do hair more freely and accessibly. Jamie deserves to be housed and she deserves to be happy. We are asking for community to help uplift our sister! ‼️

Additionally, our girl is trying to set up a spot for herself to do hair and this requires supplies! In our bio we’ve linked her Amazon wishlist so folks can support her Cosmetology career.🎀💅🏿

Goal : $3500
Progress : $0/$3500

hey y’all! I hope everyone has been enjoying the last bits of summer before fall comes in. As some of you may already know I’m having top surgery next month.

@phillytmoc threw a T4T pool party for the Queer Trans community of Philadelphia. All proceeds raised from the event will assist with my top surgery funds AND programming for @underground.laboratories the Black Trans Community of Philly. We appreciate all the work @phillytmoc does and the support you guys pour into us. We love and appreciate yall so much 💐🫶🏿

In total this event raised $1,629 ❤️🤩!
Our Microgrant application for the Black Trans Girls/Dolls/Femmes will be going live this month AND we are going to be hosting a fabulous Black Trans Holiday Dinner for all the beautiful Philly Chrannies 😘🫶🏿🔥‼️✨

Lastly, thank you to my sous chef, partner, my best friend, my rock @mogueymo for helping me prepare and cook everything from beginning to end. Thank you to my sister @fembot.96 for cleaning up after me when I was too tired from cooking all day. Thank you to my brother @compass10n_ / @10fyahsyde for coming after work and helping where we needed. Thank you to everyone who helped me clean up, sell food, and set up! I appreciate each and every single one of you. I hope I meet all you folks again 🫶🏿✨🏳️‍⚧️

Last night meant so much to me. I danced for hours to deep cut Haitian and Caribbean classics. Many fond memories attached to the music that was played last night. I’ve been craving a Haitian night for a minute and last night cured that thirst. I love my Haitian people and our culture! I love being Afro Latino!

Shoutout to Haiti for being the first Black Republic and the only successful mass slave revolt. I’m always rooting for my people❤️🫪🇭🇹💐

Also- I love Philly ❤️ taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @ts.boukman

im excited for fall tbh! 2 months and 15 days til surgery. im looking forward to getting my breast repaired and taking time to recover as i usher in my 20-something birthday 🤭 i'd deeply appreciate it if you visited spot.fund/helpmercedes to help me make it happen. your support helps to cover expenses not covered through insurance, such as: travel, medications, aftercare and the procedure itself (yay, american healthcare!🫩)

if u cant donate, u can help in the following ways:
📳share the campaign - send the direct link to folks!
🔁repost it on social media - amplify me because algorithms are fixed to push monetized and corporate-related content.
🌐send it to friends/family/community groups - any networks you're part of, collectives, orgs, agencies...let them know!
