Black Trans Liberation Kitchen aims to end homelessness and food insecurity within New York's trans population and was founded by costume designer and activist Qween Jean. The organisation hosted a 'Transmas' event at Judson Memorial Church on December 24, serving roast chicken, mashed potato and sweet potato pie. The event combined food and performances by artists including Jari Jones, Liberation Ministry Choir and Cotton Juicy. The church venue is known for inclusivity, social justice focus and affirming marginalised groups, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals. The initiative frames its work as solidarity rather than charity and creates affirming holiday space for trans people who lack welcoming family visits.
