Tell Us Your Good Deed

Helped curate a concert to raise funds for TASSN (Trans Asylum Seeker Support Network) where myself and other local BIPOC Queer Musicians performed for free.

Why are you participating?

My marginalized identities have made me who I am and have allowed me to find community with folx who also share my identities.

West Boylston, MA
United States

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer to help other parents in my community to understand special education, disability awareness, and give resources for parent support, inclusion and activities for children with autism and/or mental health needs.

Why are you participating?

I am fat. The world gives everyone messages about how bad fat is. Well I'm not bad, lazy, uneducated, or lacking self control. I hope people can see a person, with a heart, dreams, family, and rights. My body is beautiful and I'm happy to be me!

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I always volunteer at my local library to assist. It’s not something but they need help so I don't mind.

Why are you participating?

Because I was in what I call my natural state and I just wanted to be captured in that form. It’s also cool.

When my friend's ride to his top surgery bailed on him last minute, I took the day off to drive him to Boston and back to Greenfield after.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

My good deed is being there for anyone regardless of if I know them or not. I saw a women fighting with her (assuming) boyfriend outside the Auburn Mall one day a couple years back when I was waiting for a ride home from work. He was pushing her, and threatening what hed do to her when they got home, she was crying and clearly he is an abusive person in her life.

Why are you participating?

Its important for people to know that being different isnt a sin. Everyone has things about them that made them who they are, unique and individual.
