On Friday, we joined NYC Councilmember @dromm25, community activists and hundreds of #JacksonHeights, #Queens residents at a vigil to remember and mourn the loss of, #MsColombia a.k.a #OsvaldoGomez. Our Executive Director, @mohamedq_amin shared these remarks: “Miss Colombia lived fearlessly and her prideful and vibrant presence was always coupled with #love, #kindness, and #compassion. Whether it was a protest or a pride parade, her iconic cultural expressions, creativity, and visibility represented the diversity of Jackson Heights and essence of Queens, NY. May her freedom of individuality and authenticity serves as a continued reminder of our collective need to be who we are, be loved and love without the fear of discrimination and violence. She will continue to be a source of inspiration for future generations of #LGBTQ #immigrants in #NYC.” 🏳️🌈🇨🇴 (at Jackson Heights, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BopyFVUgtBZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g98zfacbh3dh
