Today, in honor of Black History Month, we ecstatic to bring you the launch of ‘What’s Underneath: Black Voices,’ beginning with @janayathefuture and continuing with new stories every Thursday.

Many of us hit rock bottom at some point in our lives, causing us to look within for our true power. For Janaya Khan, they were 16 years old, feeling inconsequential and sleeping on a park bench to escape the violence of group homes. Systemic oppression, which contributed to their mother’s schizophrenia and her lack of adequate care, as well as the weight of a Transphobic society, left them marginalized and feeling erased.

This isolation brought Janaya face-to-face with the meaning of their life. It was within that despair that the spark of a life-defining thought came in - that Janaya was actually not alone and that there must be thousands of others just like them. Thus began Janaya’s journey: working to ascend to their most unshadowed self who is now leading and galvanizing a community, often of “the forgotten and despised,” through activism.

Today, Janaya’s work as an organizer and orator for Black Lives Matter has exploded into them being one of the future’s brightest, unifying light of our time. “You don’t have to make people see the light,” Janaya says, “...you just have to be the light.”
