Make It Plain with Mark Thompson

It’s Women’s History Month and MIP can think of no other way to celebrate than with someone who is working to make her own historic moves, as she runs for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. That win would make her both the first Latina and first trans woman to hold the position. Nationally, she would become the first trans Latina to hold a state representative position. Today she shares with Mark her incredible journey; once a victim of repeated police brutality, she now works with the police force on sensitivity training for the LGBTQ+ community, and you will be blown away by her grace and strength. She also discusses the district she would be representing, which is a central part of Philadelphia’s economy, and why it is such a hugely important place for her. Already a huge service to her community, Deja discusses how she would bring both tenacity and compassion to representing the very place that shaped who she is today.
