American Black transgender activist, writer, digital publisher and social media personality. Willis is a National Organizer for Transgender Law Center, the largest organization in the U.S.A. advocating on behalf of transgender people and gender nonconforming people.
Willis created the "Black Trans Flag," a variant of the "Transgender Pride Flag." It has a black strip in the middle instead of the original white strip. Willis created it as a symbol to represent the higher levels of discrimination, violence and murder that the black trans community face in contrast to the larger transgender movement. It was first posted to her Facebook account. And it was first used on 25 August 2015 by black transgender activists throughout the United States as part of the first Black Trans Liberation Tuesday. Black Trans Liberation Tuesday was held in conjunction with Black Lives Matter, for the Black transgender women murdered throughout the year.
