#D Smith

[variousqueerthings]

had the opportunity and privilege to watch kokomo city yesterday, a documentary about black trans sex workers in America, directed by d. smith, who was working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, before (surprise surprise) losing employment and housing following her transition

if there's any chance to watch it, I really do recommend. there's so much love in the imagery and it's so vibrant, you can tell she's got a music background in the way the image beats move electrically with the soundtrack, and it adds to the ability to tell nuanced stories and let the women (and cis men who speak about their attractions to trans women) actually be funny/smart/sad/complicated

can read more about it here

I hope this spells a shift in her opportunities and in the platforming of this sort of work and documentation

"Once a Grammy-nominated producer, D Smith was shunned by the music business when she came out as trans. A disastrous stint on reality TV followed – and now she has reinvented herself as a film-maker"

I made yet another Nya and Kai comic you shouldn't be surprised atp, this is not the first I've done and won’t be the last :3

Some explanation: the doctor said wasn’t going to make it bc his fever was high enough to be deadly to a normal human, let alone a malnourished child. Kai's temp was a couple degrees above normal bc of his fire powers, but neither him nor the doctor knew that. At the end, Kai’s temp is higher than a normal human so he just has a slight fever.

And about Nya's independence I think one of the reasons to why she started wanting it so much was to help Kai, but then she kept wanting it for other reasons too (like not wanting to be defined by her brother or bf). However, she became obsessed to the point of being mean to people and pushing them away for that independence.

The last sentence makes reference to the unhealthy obsession Nya has with it and also Kai's habit of not eating.

Extra pannel:

I believe Kai did most of the raising and work but Nya's trauma gets easily overlooked, she had to watch her brother suffering for her and not be able to help, she probably had jobs behind Kai's back and tried to support him without him worring about her.
