Ari Moore

Western NY

A life-long Buffaloian, in the 1990s Ari decided to start giving back to the multi-racial-social-trans-community she had grown up in. She founded the A.Q.A (African American Queens Association) support group for transgender people of color. Ari also helped found Spectrum, a transgender support group in Buffalo. Ms. Moore became a transgender activist, lobbying for GENDA (Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act) in the New York State capitol. Ms. Moore continues to promote gender equality in all aspects of her life.
