If you haven’t already heard of this Brooklyn-based mutual aid fund, then you’ll be thrilled to learn about it now. Created by Asanni Armon, a black genderqueer artist from Atlanta, Georgia and currently based in New York, For the Gworls provides funds to Black transgender people internationally to help with rent, costs related to healthcare, and the cost of gender-affirming surgery.
This project began in 2019 when Armon decided to host a roof party to fundraise for two friends who were facing eviction. Since then, this party-based fundraising mutual aid effort in New York has grown into an international effort to support Black transgender and gender-nonconforming (GNC) people.
