JOQUESÉ WHITFIELD (SIRJOQ)

The voguer of San Francisco, at Vogue and Tone and Swagger Like Us

I got to perform at one rally a couple of weeks ago in the Castro, and I did a vogue piece, and it was talking about the lives of transwomen. If it weren’t for the Black trans women, we wouldn’t have Pride. If it wasn’t for trans women in general, we wouldn’t have vogue. Like the courageous Marsha P. Johnson. I call her Auntie. “Yesss, Auntie. Thank you for being brave and demanding rights for our people for our community.”
