In Tennessee, as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation proliferates, Kayla Gore is making a significant impact through her nonprofit, My Sistah's House, by constructing tiny homes for Black transgender people facing housing insecurity. Founded in 2016, the organization aims to redefine safety and autonomy in the region. Gore's work is highlighted in the documentary "American Problems, Trans Solutions," showcasing the journey from building sheds to developing homes for those in need. To date, 11 homes have been completed, with more planned, providing crucial support and stability for marginalized communities.
It really helps people who would never, ever in their wildest dreams think they could own a home.
We wanted to build sheds... But the support came in so strong, we started buying land.
We could actually build homes.
My Sistah's House has completed 11 homes... The 11th house will be occupied on the first [of April].
