Marsha P. Johnson is THE icon of the LGBTQ+ movement and one of the mothers of the fight for trans rights. Today, you can buy T-shirts emblazoned with her face or walk through a park named in her honor. This season on Afterlives, we hear from Marsha in her own words.

Afterlives is a documentary podcast series about trans lives we’ve lost and the ways their stories have reshaped our world. Host Raquel Willis brings Marsha’s story to life through rare archival interviews and intimate conversations with queer elders, friends, and historians.  Legend says she threw the first brick at the Stonewall riots, setting off the modern movement for queer rights. Immortalized by Warhol and known as “The Saint of Christopher Street,” Marsha was also unhoused, surviving through sex work, navigating violence, and resisting with joy.

More than 30 years after her still-unsolved death in the Hudson River, Marsha’s voice resounds louder than ever. As trans rights face renewed threats, Afterlives celebrates Marsha’s story and reflects on her enduring power as a trans ancestor.

I have always felt like there is so much pressure in your twenties to get your life figured out, but in reality, does anyone ever have it truly figured out? I'm done with the pressure so instead I am going to walk around with the most delusional mindset and watch everything fall into place in my life. Dreams turn into reality when you focus on them, so will your not so "delusional" thoughts. Delulu Central is my digital diary where I bring you guys along all of my crazy life experiences, past and present. I share my friendship struggles, failed relationships, dating drama and more.
