Cei Bell

For over 40 years, Cei has used her writing and media work to bring awareness to the issues of marginalized transgender communities. Long before there was the current media fascination with transgender people, she published articles about violence and discrimination against trans people in LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) and mainstream papers. Her many years of writing includes interviews with artist Glenn Ligon and activist Angela Davis as well as various articles focused on the abuse of LGBT youth in foster care and the 2002 murder of trans woman Nizah Morris. In addition, she has contributed to the anthology Smash the Church, Smash the State where she documented early gay culture as it emerged after the 1969 Stonewall riots.
