VSC Podcast Episode 34 - Transgender Day of Remembrance - a podcast by Victim Service Center

Transgender Day of Remembrance is this Friday, November 20th and is a time to honor and memorialize those who have been murdered due to transphobia. On the 34th episode of the VSC Podcast, VSC Education Coordinator Emilie Mitchell sat down with two amazing Trans women: Equality Florida’s TransAction Project Coordinator Nikole Parker and Peer Support Space Butterfly Talks member Morrighan-Eris Crosmu to talk about violence the Trans Community faces. Come learn about the marginalization of the Trans Community, how we can honor Transgender Day of Remembrance, and how to be a better supporter of the Trans Community.

Nikole Parker uses she/her pronouns and is the TransAction Florida Project Coordinator, assisting with Equality Florida's statewide Transgender Inclusion Initiative. She also currently works for the onePULSE Foundation as the Stakeholder & Community Relations Manager. Nikole has sat on various non-profit boards within the community, including the LGBT+ Center Board of Directors, the Orlando United Assistance Center Advisory Board, TransAction Advisory Council, Spektrum Health Board of Directors and Peer Support Space Board of Directors.

Morrighan-Eris Crosmu uses she/her pronouns and is a transgender woman who has been a regular to Butterfly Talks for quite some time now. Butterfly Talks is a place to build friendships and a sense of community for historically underserved communities within the LGBTQ+ community.
