Age 63 • Washington, DC

Described as “a D.C. legend,” SaVanna was a founder of D.C. Trans Pride and a highly acclaimed advocate for the Black trans community and people living with HIV. “Her work was not just about representation, it was about liberation, community, and making sure Black Trans lives were honored in rooms, stages, policies, and movements that too often overlooked them.”
