“Be the person you needed when you were younger.” In a binary world separated between gender and race, societal norms imposed on us can be oppressive and limit the ability to look beyond and express our truest selves. As American society becomes more aware of these social injustices and oppressive norms a lot of social progress has been made. Kim Tran is building a community of support and inclusivity with hope of building the necessary infrastructure to build up marginalized communities especially the LGBTQ, people of color, and their intersectional need. Join her and be part of the movement as she discusses gender in a new America.
Kim Tran completed her Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley with a focus on Ethnic Studies. Her essays and writings has been featured Vice, Teen Vogue, PRI, and Ms. Magazine. In her consulting practice she has facilitated anti-oppression, trans inclusion and uprooting anti-Blackness trainings for a variety of organizations including Stanford University, the United States Consulate and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. She is currently writing a book manuscript titled: The End of Allyship: A New Era of Solidarity.
