🏳️⚧️ Movie Night for Trans Day of Remembrance 🏳️⚧️
Hosted at Algoma University – The NEST (NW201) | 7:30 PM
All staff, faculty, students, and community members welcome!
Join us for an evening of reflection, community, and celebration of resilience as we observe Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) with a special screening of Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story in The NEST at 7:30 PM.
Trans Day of Remembrance, observed each year on November 20, is a time to honor the transgender, Two-Spirit, and gender-diverse individuals whose lives have been lost to anti-trans violence. It is also an opportunity to celebrate the strength, creativity, and contributions of trans and gender-diverse people in our communities.
🎬 About the Film:
Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story tells the powerful story of Jackie Shane — a pioneering Black transgender soul singer from the 1960s whose music and identity challenged conventions and inspired generations. Through rare recordings, interviews, and archival footage, the film shines a light on Shane’s extraordinary life, artistry, and legacy.
This event offers a welcoming space for all to come together in remembrance and solidarity. Whether you are a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community or an ally, your presence and support make a difference.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
📅 Date & Time: 7:30 PM
