'They don’t care about us, so we have to care about us,' says Ceyenne Doroshow, who's raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure stable housing for Black trans New Yorkers
Elsewhere in the interview, Doroshow, who spoke at Sunday’s rally in Brooklyn, explained why stable housing matters and why it’s necessary to build a life, especially for the Black trans women who’ve been denied that stabilityCreating housing is about saving people’s lives.
We’re creating community resources that have never existed in New York City—not for us. Everything in New York City is about us, but we’re not benefiting from it. I could go to [an LGBTQ nonprofit] a thousand times a week, and all I’ll get is a MetroCard and a meal… I don’t want that. I want to create something more…
I want us to keep buying shit and building shit. I want us to be out at the farmer’s market…you know? That’s sustainability. Teaching girls and guys how to garden and having that equity and space. I don’t even garden, but the way. Don’t do it! No! Don’t like dirt. But I would love to see our community be…in that farmer’s market at Union Square. Trans women and queer community. Not white people—us, selling our goods. That’s what needs to happen.
