    Founder Tarena D. Williams

    founder

    Ms. Tarena D. Williams is a transgender woman who knows firsthand how  the transgender community can be discriminated against, unfairly perceived and the struggles when it comes to education, employment, housing and safety. She is using her life experiences to build this safe place where all the transgender men, women, boys and girls can be heard without yelling, understood without stigma and educated without  barriers.

    Retreat in collaboration with House of GG and TAKE (Virginia Beach, Dec. 2018).

    What we do

    We started by referring people to partners; now, partners refer trans people to us!  


    Our secret sauce is The Lamia House, where we built a one-stop-shop for trans needs: medium-term housing, food services, name change help, insurance guidance, finding and keeping a job, and transitional programs for the incarcerated.
