What’s a favorite Halloween memory?
“Dressing up as a
black female cat —
prior to my transi-
tion.”
“A house in the neigh-
borhood with ghost-
ies and goblins and
trick-or-treating.
It was really great
going to that house.
They really got into the
spirit, so to speak.”
“My daughter being
born. And every
Halloween since has
been my favorite.”
