Right now, the Smithsonian and other institutions are beginning to remove historical context related to race and gender (read: Black folk and transgender women) exhibits.
It’s not just an update—it’s a violent erasure. And we feel called to move toward it.
Not to protest. Not to perform. But to witness. To gather. To metabolize. To bring the flowers while we’re still here.
This journey seeks to honor and document the diverse stories within our communities, including those of Black, queer, and trans folk, whose experiences are integral to our collective narrative.
This is part of our larger grief and joy work—an embodied, intentional offering we’re shaping through live events, shared writing, and recorded reflections. We’re calling this season What I Let Live, and this pilgrimage to D.C. is one of its first acts.
We’re asking our community to help us fund this journey.
This work is sacred. It’s not a project. It’s a practice.
If you’ve ever felt the potency of grief in your chest or the wild breath of joy break through your mourning, this offering is for you too.

We bring the flowers now, not just to remember—but to tend what still lives.
