The Uhuru Dream House is a communal art house for disabled/QTBIPOC. It serves as a safe space to create, an artist residency program & transitional living space - owned, operated and maintained by Black trans people, for Black trans people. 

The Uhuru Dream House is a social justice project.  Systematic racism, through housing discrimination, has forced marginalized communities to navigate predominantly inaccessible cis, white dominant and heteronorm spaces. It’s important to foster a sacred space for Black trans people.  Owning the home as disabled QTBIPOC gives us autonomy to practice our subcultures and lifestyles that vary from the dominant culture. It also ensures our financial, emotional/mental, spiritual & physical safety. I am creating a residency for my people to be free.  

The money raised through this fundraiser is to create an artist residency program where Black trans & intersex artists can visit The Uhuru Dream House in New Orleans, LA. for one-month, to work on a project. We will acquire all creative tools and resources necessary for artists-in-residence to create art, music and film.   The residency will feature; art/music/film/tattoo studios, a digital editing room and a stage, a Black QTI library, and community garden. I will have everything an artist could dream of having in the space so there is no creative limitation!
