The House of Blahnik has announced there will be a candle light memorial tomorrow (Saturday, 16th October) in Philadelphia for Stacey Blahnik, found murdered in her home on the 11th. Since, for somewhat complex reasons, I am currently in Philadelphia I will be attending. Although I was not familiar with Stacey, we lose too many trans women, especially trans women of colour, for me to not pay my respects to her especially given her work as a trans activist.
The details of the candle light memorial are as follows:
Candle Light Memorial

Love Park – 15th/JFK (Phila, PA)
4 info contact Father Kiron Prodigy 267-401-5085
I hope that anyone who can make it to memorial will attend. I hope to see you there.
