JUSTICIA WILSON
FOUNDER
Hailing from the Keystone State, Justice Wilson (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Photography for her has always been an outlet of expression and also a means of cementing her perspective of the world as a trans woman of color raised in a multiracial household, her mother being Filipina and her father being African-American. Always watching movies and TV as a child, famously mostly Thomas the Tank Engine until she graduated to loving 80s/90s slasher flicks in the 4th grade, Jus has always been interested in the documentation of and movement of images. She first began experimenting with photography and other mediums of art in high school after being encouraged by her friends and teachers to pursue the arts. From then on her work has taken on many different faces and focuses, but as of late she is mostly interested in the relationships between fashion, trans femininity, and storytelling shown up against a history informed Americana backdrop. Her musical work also investigates similar themes through a bluesy, folk, and sometimes an electronic and distorted sound.

PROMACE MAE
ARTISTIC LIAISON
Born in the city of brotherly love, Promace Mae (she/her) found her love for the creative arts during her childhood traveling around for her mother's job. Her main focus, being singing followed directly by writing, gave her an outlet to express emotions she never could any other way. Though her love for the musical arts is overwhelming, her other key focuses are acting and artistic styling having grown up in the theater. She spent most of her time soaking up the talent at her mother's publishing company, and even today, she is co-writing a book detailing what it was like growing up as a Black trans plus-sized woman in a predominantly white suburb where she was the first out trans child. All of her experiences have led her to her current solo project which is a full album outlining not only her struggles but her growth. With an amalgamation of atmospheric vocals, soulful lyrics, and the examination of our quiet thoughts and naked truths, this album will tell the brutally beautiful story of an enigmatic, naive, and empathetic young girl.

She discovered her love for writing shortly after moving to New York City. Willa uses her lifetime of living in the South and mashes together her love for thrillers, comedy, and dramas to create her work.

This comes after being frustrated with recent representation of trans women in media. She thinks trans women and their trials and tribulations are dumbed down to satisfy a cis straight audience.
