Welcome to Litsy!

What an inspiring biography!

I knew this trans woman threw the first brick at the Stonewall riot, but I didn‘t realize she was a nationally known stage performer & such a driving force of community care networks for ostracized and demonized populations.

This author exhibits both kindness and transparency in portraying Marsha P Johnson, as a complex, generous, big hearted, and deeply mentally ill person.

All nonfiction all the time this weekend #WeekendReads

Had a little time at the coffee shop today to start this biography of Marsha P. Johnson

Everyone knows her as the person who threw the first brick at Stonewall but this biography breathes life into Marsha's story She was so much more than a historical anecdote! From feeding and housing folks in her community through her STAR organization to providing dedicated care to many suffering from AIDS to being a vibrant and vital member of marches and vigils across the decades, Marsha was a force and inspiration whose light continues to shine
