Support Arya's Re-entry
Donation protected
Peace & Blessings to all you beautiful souls.
My name is Arya Serenity. I am a 5’3”, 145 trans Latina, and the first openly transgender woman to transition behind the walls of a men's prison in the state of Rhode Island. I was released on Parole on January 24, and I’m now living and working in Providence.
I’ve secured a job, but I won’t see a paycheck until a few weeks into March. I’m volunteering and organizing with PrYSM, Black and Pink, and TGI Network.
I'm raising funds to aid in my re-entry, to help me with housing costs, to buy women's clothing and cosmetics for the first time, and to get on my feet as I start a new life.
I’ve been in the state's oppressive systems most of my life as many different personalities, from orphan to street thug to gang banga to political activist to a transwoman who is an ex-gang banga that politicized herself. I am very historically, spiritually, and politically conscious and aware of the time of day in which we exist. I have been active with the RI chapter of Black and Pink since 2015. I'm excited to continue to find loving community in Rhode Island, and to continue fighting for justice and liberation. Thank you to those who have supported me through this transition, and big thanks to those who choose to donate here.
Love to all of you,
Arya
