On Saturday, the ladies will come together once again for the final big event celebrating 8 years. To honor all our allies, we have decided to give out an award called the Sybil as a way of giving thanks to those who have helped promote transgender equality and acceptance (see poster above).
I am so proud that soon our hard work will come into fruition. We conceptualized the Sybil Awards right around the New Year and have been working slowly to see it come true. On Saturday, our dream will finally turn into reality and I am just overjoyed. I just wish that I could spend the night of the 22nd with all my friends, family and loved ones. It feels like graduating on top my class all over again if not like Christmas morning.
I cannot wait for Saturday. I know in my heart that it will be one of the most memorable days of my life.

Congratulations for turning the Sybil Awards into a reality.
There's a reason why STRAP is considered one of the leading trans advocacy orgs on the planet, and it's because of your excellent innovative leadership team.
While none of us go into activism strictly for amassing awards, it sure is nice when you are recognized for the work to do that makes people's lives better.
May it be a successful and flawless event.
Thank you Monica. It is truly an honor to know you.
I'm just as honored to know you, Sass and hopefully get to know other STRAP ladies as well.
