SUMMARY:Celebration of Life for Miss Major
DESCRIPTION:✨ Celebration of Life for Miss Major Griffin-Gracy ✨\nJoin Life Is Work and Center on Cottage Grove as we come together to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy — beloved matriarch\, activist\, and trailblazer for trans liberation.\nBorn right here on Chicago’s South Side\, Miss Major spent her life fighting for dignity\, visibility\, and justice for Black trans women and all those living at the margins. Her impact is global\, but her roots are ours.\nThis evening of remembrance will be filled with storytelling\, reflection\, and joy — because Miss Major taught us that celebration is resistance. Together\, we’ll uplift her spirit and carry her legacy forward in love and solidarity.\n🖤 When: October 24\, 2025\n🏠 Where: 6323 S. Cottage Grove\n🌈 Hosted by: Life Is Work & Center on Cottage\n🎟️ Free and open to the public\n“Holding this celebration on the South Side isn’t just symbolic — it’s intentional. This is where Miss Major’s story began.” — Zahara Bassett\, CEO of Life Is Work\nCome as you are. Celebrate a legend. Continue the work.
