Now she uses a lorn, too. Story and Photos by Staley Munroe or the majority of her career, Felicia FDeRosa has approached social justice and activism through her art. Over 30-some-odd years, she has explored and reflected back themes such as gender roles, the body as it's exploited in media and advertising, mental illness, homelessness, faith, addiction, self-destruction, and, from time to time, politics. Since embracing her reality and coming out fully as a transwoman, though, DeRosa also has been called into more direct action. She's a vocal board member of TransOhio and has co-organized the last three Transgender Day of Remembrance gatherings in Columbus. She has spoken on panels and offered training. When the New York Times reported last fall on a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services plan to define transgender people out of existence, the Columbus College of Art & Design instructor partnered with friend, transman and recent CCAD grad Clark Baker to stage a rally at the Statehouse and a protest March up High Street that drew more than 250 people. "The trans community covers a wide, diverse spread of people and issues, from gender and racial equality, to employment and healthcare, to community service and public safety," she says. "Moving forward, the trans community needs to unite, stand shoulder-to-shoulder and be louder, smarter and more articulate than the people who speak against us." But in order for there to be real change, DeRosa says, people outside the trans community—both within and outside the LGBTQAAI + + community-need to be reached. "Allies need to leverage their privilege," she say? 14 | March 2019 PrizmNews.i LGBT & Allied Chamber of Commerce ANNUAL MEETING Join us in an interactive and unique format to share your input on important topics in our community and learn more about how you can engage in the work of Plexus.
