This calendar is a year lived in relationship with Black trans leadership. Featuring Dominique Jackson, Isis King, Javannah Davis, Dominique Morgan, Hope Giselle, Diamond Stylz, Jasmine Tasaki, and other pioneering changemakers, Resilience Thru Destruction is a visual testament to what it means to remain unshaken while the world transforms.

Each month offers the essence of grounding, truth, affirmation, and BLACK TRANS presence reminding us that community strength is not theoretical. It is practiced, embodied, and led.
