Chicago, Illinois - Basil Manly Speaks Out Regarding Youngstown Riots
From the Chicago Day Book of January 17, 1916:
Kim Watson is a 52-year-old trans woman living in the Bronx with her husband and adopted daughter. She is cofounder of an organization called Community Kinship Life (CKLife), which provides space for transgender individuals to gather and offers scholarships. Her work has been honored by Bronx elected officials and citywide LGBT groups.
She arrived in the United States on a tourist visa in 1988. When the pass expired, she remained.
The city offered her refuge from persecution she faced over her identity in her homeland, but she continued to struggle with mental illness and substance abuse.
While homeless, she was twice arrested for selling controlled substances in 1997 and 1998. Nazrali said that at the time she was going through a wrenching identity dysphoria that led to the run-ins with the law.
However, more than a decade ago, Watson said she went to rehab and started receiving counseling for PTSD and her other identity issues.
Watson earned a bachelor's degree from Pace University and began grassroots organizing over LGBT issues and HIV status.
