Chicago Trans Visibility Pageant

Pay tribute to Transgender Day of Visibility this year at Life is Work's inaugural Chicago Trans Visibility Pageant, a celebration to honor the city's trans leaders and raise awareness around the health and safety issues faced by the trans community. Pageant artists will compete for more than $5,000 in prizes, and the event's 10 honorees include Brave Space Alliance executive director LaSaia Wade and local activist Elise Malary, who died earlier this month.
