Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
A day to honor not just existence, but essence — to celebrate the beauty of becoming, the courage of truth, and the power of living fully and unapologetically. Trans Day of Visibility asks us to pause and witness — to lift up the stories, talents, and spirits of trans people whose impact is felt across every corner of our communities.
This year, Target 10 partnered with longtime collaborator Aspen Leavitt — across platforms—a young trans poet and artist, to create something deeply personal. Aspen wrote the below poem and then translated its spirit into an original painting. We’ve had the privilege of working with Aspen across both commercial campaigns and community initiatives, and his work always cuts to the emotional core.
Inspired by Aspen’s line, “the potency of trans joy is immortal”, we’re spotlighting a few of the incredible trans changemakers we’ve had the honor of collaborating with. This is just a glimpse, a constellation of stars in a sky filled with many:
- Gabrielle Inès Souza & Max Rigano / The Okra Project : Creating care and community through food & love

In the comments, we urge you to share your own support for transgender people around the world. Let them know they are seen, supported and deeply loved. Let’s fill this thread with voices that honor the vibrant, joyful, unstoppable brilliance of trans lives. Because visibility isn’t passive—it’s an act of intention, of courage, of community.
It’s choosing to make space.
It’s recognizing humans whose light deserves more sky to shine.
Add your voice. Let it rise.
