Overview
I am a young transgender woman, an artist, a resource advocate, and I hope to dedicate my life to dance and supporting young people.
Right now, I'm in the final part of the hiring process for a job as a youth worker at an emergency shelter. My goals are to create a dance program for young girls like me.
I need help to cover the move-in fee for a new apartment. I am unsafe where I currently live. There is a lot of transphobia and men that target women walking home at night.
Meeting this need will help me because I will be able to come and go from me new home more safely.
Need funded!
Thank you for helping ZiZi fund this need.

ZiZi is easily one of the most inspiring young women I have ever had the privilege to meet. She is a born leader, creating hope and passion for dance and art everywhere she goes. Seeing her shine by telling her story at YEPP has been an honor. I can only hope that she gets to move into a more safe home so that she can continue to grow and hopefully get a job soon!
