🔥 Revolutionary Street Queen (Sylvia Rivera)🔥
This is a warm orange pearlescent polish with gold/orange micro flakes.
Revolutionary Street Queen is inspired by Sylvia Rivera. She was a latina transgender activist that left home at only 10 yrs old because her family rejected her gender expression. She lived on the streets and found a new family in the older drag queens/street queens that took her in. This gave her inspiration to help others and protest for change.
Sylvia began her activism by participating in the initial Stonewall Uprising protest at the raid on Stonewall Inn. She preferred to call it the revolution, as she, among many others were fueled by the Uprising to take a stronger activism role and create change. She was a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance. She also co-founded Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with her friend, Marsha P Johnson, to help homeless transgender youth and s*x workers in Manhattan.
