Hi Ya’ll,

Gratitude is the word. For I have many to thank for the past two years of support, love and advocacy. I am at the end of closing this cycle of mutual aid dependability. It’s official, I will be starting work on July 18th , great benefits, and a base salary from which I can afford to pay bills on my own plus access more medical resources. There is no shame in asking for help, something I had to learn. Something I also had to unlearn is feeling inadequate for having to resort to mutual aid to guard my dignity and accessibility to survival.

A good friend reminded me, “No one deserves suffering” which I echo with all my heart and spirit. Being on the receiving end after all these years of fundraising for other folk and nonprofits, it all felt alien to me, to be the one on the asking corner but I have learned to accept, it’s ok. As I close this chapter and start my new job, I am also exhausted economically, I am also still waiting to be paid for work I’ve done and I am feeling insecure about my ability to get to work, for my safety net is nonexistent, you see a girl uses her donations to meet her primary needs on a budget, no room for the unexpected.

I will not likely see my first salary until the end of August and I am resorting to mutual aid and fundraising to help me get there, so help me get there?

I am very thankful for each and every donation, every share and every word of support. I am not thankful for this transphobic, xenophobic, capitalist algorithm though. So pardon me if I tag you, it’s just my way to ensure this message gets to as many folk it can, folk I hold faith would come to my call of aid and use the power of their advocacy to ensure a girl doesn’t go without by sharing her graphic.

Share this graphic across social media an encourage others to do so to help me expand my reach, together we can help reach my goal. Thank you again for not giving up on me.

With Love and Light,

Pink Moon Midnight Blue

Happy Pride,

Because it all started with a Trans Black Woman (Marsha) and her accomplice (Sylvia) throwing bricks at the police for systematic abuse.

Today on that notion and energy I come to request your aid in helping me combat systematic oppression. I’m currently facing negligence in the transitional process of getting reimbursement from social services on housing, in addition to unpaid services I did two months ago at UC Merced

These were my safety nets for this month which I have no word when I will receive. In positive news, I have interviewed with potential employers since I finally hold permit to work, of course it would be long before I can receive any salary, so your contributions and community aid is all I have now.

Help by donating or sharing this graphic across social media. Here lies an opportunity to directly invest on the survival of a Two Spirit Afro-indigenous woman living in colonizers land undergoing medical treatment.

“Someone out there wants to help someone like you, someone like me.”

With Love and Light,

Case update and Housing: 

Hello ya’ll, Since my last update I informed you all, social services had requested me to leave facilities since my asylum case was considered closed. Although I never received documentation relating to the matter, it was simply assumed by the organization overseeing social support. In fact, what happened is, SEF abandoned my case without notice and took illegal action towards handling my case as it was supposed to be transferred to the U.S. I plan to hold them accountable in international court for the foreseeing future. 

Of course, I’m the one and I’m not the one. The former director of ILGA and I teamed up to apply for a different process that would allow me to stay in the country through a residence based on ongoing medical treatments. This entire process took everything out me, financially, mentally and emotionally. 

One mental breakdown, a few legal battles here and there and plenty of advocacy all part of the labor that was to correct the incompetence of people working in the system. In spite of it all, my residence application was approved. For the first time in 14 years of being undocumented, I am now waiting for my residence card in the mail. This was a lot. Like a lot of unnecessary BS and I have to tell you, no one deserves this hell. I’ve been put through the worst mental  hell. 

Currently in another advocacy battle for social services at Santa Casa de Misericordia is evading social support. They pressured me to leave the housing facility and verbally committed to provide transitional housing and after submitting my application, they still have no answer for me.I was able to secure housing for the month of May thanks to the donations received by colleagues, chosen family and friends. You know who you are, and I thank you immensely. Sadly, I’m still waiting to be reimbursed for the housing expenses and it won’t approved in time. I still need your help to cover the rent expenses of June. I need to raise 350 for immediate aid and then some for the rest of living expenses of food, medication, and other primary necessities. 

I still need the support of community until I have received my residence card in the mail and then until I begin working or get paid from consulting work, I did two months ago that was supposed to be my rent safety net, but it seems even that is too much to ask, to get paid for what is already mine. Share this graphic across media or donate to capacity all is welcome with gratitude.     

I’m currently very anxious and feeling pretty insecure and depressed, I ask you not to ignore my plight for help. I still believe in the power of community and trust me when I say that there is enough wealth for all of us because:

 “Someone out there wants to help someone like me, someone like you”

With Love and Light,

Marie.

Greetings colleagues, friends and siblings:

As we approach the upcoming Pride Month (June) observed in the majority of U.S. territories and abroad, I want to remind folk I am available for tokenization…I mean…work related innovative and interactive seminars and other thought provoking conversations on the LGBTQi2S-QTBIPOC sphere.

Feel free to share, reblog this flyer among institutions, companies or other entities participating in the annual rainbowfication of logos and campaigns for this post-covid-ish upcoming Pride Month.

Despite the corporate nature Pride Month has undergone, We would still like to remind folk that, grassroot efforts continue to be under-represented in the midst of the battle of the blue check marks. No tea no shade but read: Fame does not always grant knowledge on the work shadow living creatures like me continue to innovate and teach…and chiiiiile do not roll your eyes on me, I’m still your Yelder.

This is your annual reminder to book grassroots for your upcoming Pride affairs.

Gracefully in Service,

Greetings fam,

A lot has happened since my last update. Things are looking up despite several road blocks and legal battles that seem to have no end. I remain with a strong spirit. Nevertheless:

My housing situation is now a first priority factor, for I no longer has support from asylum process. In short, they mishandled my case and now I am to remain in territory without support. This mess, their mess, I’ll explain more in detail later. Right now, I need your advocacy and support to help me expand my reach. If you are in capacity donate what you can or able to. I have one week to find new housing accommodations.

I already reached to transitional housing here in Lisbon for Trans folk and they are at capacity. Finding temporary housing is my most immediate priority. I am still undergoing treatment for neuropathy, physical injury and metabolic issues so please be kind in understanding I’m doing everything that is in my capacity to survive and heal. Additionally, you can hire or help me promote my services listed on www.msvenarsian.com

Good news is, I will soon be granted permission to work and no one is happier but me, for community aid dependability is something that brings me much anxiety for I have only been able to raise enough to survive on the margins, primarily aided by chosen family and sibs (yall’ know who you are and Thank you my loves)

Share among platforms or donate at capacity to get this gal’ a place to be.

Housing is a human right.

With love and light,

Pink Moon Midnight Blue.

Mutual Aid

Case Update:Hello folk, chosen family and friends, I continue to await direction from asylum procedures that should send me back to the U.S. However, given the fact the government agency handling my case is about to be abolished due to, well, human right violations duh. I honestly do not know whether they would provide clearance to my transfer and travel. In the case they fail to comply with regular procedures, I would need to take my case to European Human rights court for I’m currently experiencing nothing short of violation to my rights….colonizers!!!I

’ve met with LGBT leaders who are currently providing legal assistance in order to apply for a humanitarian visa via medical care. As many of you know, I am living with undiagnosed neuropathy conditions as well as bursa related injuries in addition to immunocompromised condition due to a benign pituitary tumor affecting my metabolism. It’s a lot. But medication is making it possible to be somewhat functional.

Between caring for my health, legal battles, housing insecurity, lack of labor market access this spoonie is exhausted and scared. I constantly fear for my life when I lack the capacity to care for myself. In all sincerity despite the daily terror managed via meme therapy; I’m walking this path in complete faith with my ancestors and the universe. I want to get what’s mine.  I’m asking you all again to support and help me get through this, as I await uncertainty once again. I have only been able to raise enough funds every month to make ends meet. I have not been able to raise enough to secure a safety net for housing options. Currently my safety funds are exhausted.  

Donate at whatever capacity and share widely across media platforms to reach those in capacity to help.Thank you once again for everyone who has been a champion and angel to my life, I hold lots of gratitude for your kindness.

To my siblings in da’ struggle: “Hang in there, someone out there wants to help someone like you. Someone like me”

With Love,

Because I exist...

CW: abuse, violence, r*ape etc

Indulge me with my journey with visibility: Visibility carries a heavy emotional weight in my lexicon.  Ever since I decided to live my life in my in authentic self, publicly, life never got easier. Sexual abuse, femicide threats, homelessness, poverty, discrimination, workplace abuse, r*ape attempts and other sexual violence all have followed me till present day life--intersectionally with my existence as a Two spirit woman of clinical trans experience. 

Living openly as a trans activist escaping femicide since my teens caused me to immigrate, that extra layer of asylum trans woman of color is a particular intersection where access to opportunity is among the lowest. It is at that particular intersection in the system where it is not designed for us. We become "stateless" for no government would explicitly extend protection, you become excluded from legally participating in society. What I have done is no easy feat. I have been living the Trump era conditions since 2007. 

I've became a chaser, all these years I have been chasing safety and freedom all the while surviving. Visibility also brought me the ability to use my voice to create change beyond my benefit. 

I became an agent of change 20 years ago; a baby trans kid (Circa 1998) educating other kids in Honduras in avoiding sexual abuse, sponsored by UNICEF. Since my arrival to the U.S. in 2007 I have helped improve my neighborhoods, education systems, healthcare systems, workplace rights, women's rights, immigration rights, nonprofit sector, private sector, human rights defense, immigration. She's done panels, seminars, marches, conferences, interviews, local and national news papers, magazines, blogs, red carpets, student leadership, lobbying, executive coaching, youth programs, comic book features, counseling, facilitation, translation, featured and produce educational media, four documentaries local, national and international in English Spanish and Portuguese, modeling, acting, writing, poetry, painting, photography. She's done all she could. 

All the while living as a visible Two Spirit trans woman of Afro-indigenous heritage. life has been hard but I'm proud of my journey. Although I’m much happier and grateful for the universe always assured me, my labor helped someone live their truth. Visibility gave me power to create impact, and often caught between the cheek and the slap.  Nevertheless, I'm still  percent affirmed regardless of the price, I will always choose to live in my truth. 

"For I risked my life to be here, for I do the things I do in life, so I can exist in my own truth, nobody can take that away."

Late Registration

Late registration…

So…it happened!? I finally opened a Tumblr account!! I know I know, I’m lame but after pressure from my Z-gener sister, I caved in. I took the leap of faith, so this pseudo-old hag can now lurk content, officially. Mind you, I’m a millennial who grew up on the early majestic years of unhinged Tumblr soft porn material. So I’m not entirely unfamiliar, I was a long time lurker back when Tumblr used to be the beta version of future OnlyFans startups. But after the Purge of unholy and “unclean” content, I was sort of boycotting participation. But, eh….I was like let me take it for what it is now, besides Twiter is out here showing up for unrated content and PornHub comment section has become the Kink positive friend you wish you always had…so Mx. Tumblr let’s see what you got in store for me Gworl.

 But who is MsVenarsian?

I’m an Afro-Indigenous Two spirit AMAB Woman, born in Honduras, raised in the U.S. who now lives in Lisbon Portugal. But more on that journey later.

 What she do tho?

I’m an Activist/Advocate Human rights defender, abolitionist, anti-imperialism, decolonizing educator, Priestess, writer and visual artist, model and documentary personality. I’ve had a multidisciplinary experience and you can learn more of my services and work on my website www.msvenarsian.com (some sections under construction, so stop judging me).

 So…..What’s next?

I’ll be sharing a collaborative modeling work visual narrative series. Judy Wood Pictures, a French photographer and I did during my stay in Lisbon as an asylum seeker; juxtaposing glamour in the everyday. Stay tune. If you made this far…why? But thanks.

With Love and light,

Pink Moon Midnight Blue.
