The vigil was also for
#SageSmith. She was an 18yo Black trans girl who went missing from down the street from where I live.2 replies 6 retweets 14 likes -

Charlottesville gained a national reputation recently for Morgan Harrington and Hannah Graham, two young white students who went missing.

Sage's name never made CNN. The Chief of Police never wept on national TV for her. The police and local news still deadname her.

I try not to make this account all trans all the time. But I have to use this platform to say her name. Sage Smith deserves justice.

Please know how at-risk black trans women and trans women of color are. Please know how many we've lost. Please hear their names. Thanks.
