Becoming Hope: Removing the Disguise

By Hope Giselle

Growing up in the projects homes of Miami Florida was hard enough, but when you toss in the being gay, flamboyant, and fearless to the mix you're bound to find trouble. This read takes you through the early days of activist Hope Giselle as she recounts what it was like to be the odd ball out in family that didn't get, a community that doesn't accept it and partners that were confused by her journey to "Becoming Hope".Hope gives us a vivid picture of her first times and captivates us with didactic speech along the way. Inspired by trans women of color like Janet Mock, Angelica Ross, and Marsha P Johnson Giselle delivers a nugget of gold about her story in a way that only she can tell it.
