Just got the word from Tona about this exciting piece of news I'm about to share with you TransGriot readers.
When she ascends the stage to sing the national anthem at the LGBT Leadership Gala that takes place on June 23 in New York, she will become the first African descended trans person to perform for a sitting United States president.
Congratulations again sis on this upcoming history making moment, say hello to the POTUS for me, and make sure they take a lot of pictures
And oh yeah, this question will be on next year's TransGriot African American trans history quiz
