Since I've been out
she's been there for me 100%,
she immediately
got me involved in TGIJP.
Major walk
and it is what it is and do
what you
So she relates
and she understands
and she just accepts.
It's what every family
should be.
It's the definition
of unconditional love,
no matter what.
Coming from Africa
and being broken and so forth,
Miss Major, she gave me hope.
She showed me how to be a lady.
She showed me how to dress.
they call me look
at that sexy b*tch.
And now when I write
the children that are in jails
and prison and they read
my story and see I did
three years in immigration
prison and I did one year
in San Quentin.
And I made it through.
I've seen her sit up there
and buy money orders, and
put money on people's books,
go see them.
I'm like, you don't
even know these people!
Yes I do, they're trans,
and they're in jail.
That's enough.
And that spend a mile
in my shoes, f*** my shoes.
Wear my dress, my wig,
my hair, my perfume,
and then go out there.
And after you get beat up
a couple of times
and you come back here
to catch your breath,
you may not even be safe
in your own home because
the motherf***er you sleeping
with didn't get high yet
and he's gonna kick
your ass because
you don't have enough money.
We need to make
the girls feel safe.
Especially TGIJP, because
we understand what it's like,
we have three girls
who are helping me to run this
who just got out of prison.
And we're trying
to help other girls,
to get them in that position.
Because it is so empowering
to stand on your own two feet
and there you are.
You know what I mean,
godammit that's
the most wonderful thing
you can think of.
I was born in Chicago Illinois
in 194mmmm.
My mother's name was
Edgar Mae Griffin-Gracy.
My father's name was
Leroy Rudolph Gracy.
that was his name.
And my mother,
On my birth certificate,
it's Major Gracy.
And I took on Griffin
because that was
my mother's maiden name.
And I wanted her to be
a part of who I was.
So I'd heard that
in Latin countries
you had both names, so I thought
oh okay, that will work for me!
And then I liked the way
it sounded,
Major Griffin-Gracy,
that's so cool.
So that's how I wound up
back at being Miss Major.
I don't remember what year
it was, but I'm 73.
I've had six
different birthdays,
all of them in October,
all around the 25th,
the only thing that changed
is the year, from 40 to 49,
so somewhere in there
is an age I'm actually at.
And who cares, you know?
