Kalena "Peaches" Croskey

Age 32 • Birmingham, Alabama

The TAKE Resource Center, an organization which focuses on providing social services to trans people of color, wrote that Kalena was “more than a community member. She was family. She brought light, laughter, and joy into every space she entered. Despite the many challenges she faced throughout her life, she never allowed those struggles to define her. Whether she was singing her favorite Beyoncé songs, voguing to the beat, creating glamorous makeup looks, or simply making others smile, Peaches found ways to experience joy and share it with those around her.
