My TRUTH, My STORY - Dominique Jackson

"My TRUTH, My STORY", is the Caribbean Equality Project's multimedia storytelling campaign, which reflects and shares authentic unspoken stories of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) people of Caribbean heritage. These experiences, struggles and achievements are the driving force behind the storytellers’ personal growth. “My TRUTH, My STORY" aims to unveil, liberate and unchain victims from a culture of silence and fear. The Caribbean Equality Project is dedicated to revising the oppressive cycle of colonized and institutionalized teachings, in order to create a sustainable and progressive community free of violence and all forms of discrimination. In order to achieve this goal, we aim at promoting visibility and empowerment through powerful messages of self-acceptance, love, respect, renewal and hope.
One of our primary outlets, the ongoing video series, will serve as a useful resource to promote networks of support for Caribbean LGBTQ individuals who are struggling with issues inclusive of, but not limited to: coming out, family acceptance, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, physical and mental health problems, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. These LGBTQ individuals tend to lack supportive and safety networks, and as such, they serve as one of our main focus. We celebrate our participants’ courage, diversity, and strength to stand in their own light through their vulnerability. In doing so, they can live their truth fearlessly; with the hope of igniting thought-provoking dialogue on issues that affect the Caribbean LGBTQ community.

"I stopped looking for acceptance when I found myself." THIS. 100% this.

"I don't need you to accept me. I may want you to understand me. But as far as your accepting me, that just means that I believe that you are greater than I am or I believe you have some kind of privilege or authority over my life. No way."

“I don’t live in frustration, I’m too beautiful for that.” A true queen

[@LeeLooface]

She's so soft spoken and calm. So different than her character in Pose. She is stunning! I'm a fan for life ❤️

I am a 60 year old straight white woman who has the utmost respect and admiration for this woman. She has a phenomenal message about living her truth. My 35 year old son came out as gay when he was 15 and I've always admired his bravery in doing so. It's still scary for me to know that he is navigating this world with the hate that exists for people who dare to live an honest existence rather than what may seem like a safer existence, but I wouldn't want him to do anything different. I've known of and heard the stories of a lot of people with gender identification struggles but Dominique's story has given me the greatest understanding of how important living the truth is because of the lengths she has taken to be the person she was born to be. I realize that the greatest truth I can live is to have faith in and support other people who live their truth, without question.

"I don't live in frustration, I'm too beautiful for that!" - Awesome!!!

[@empressnaja]

I know one thing for a fact , she couldn't live as she wanted to in Trinidad or Tobago because most people from there wouldn't approve at all.

[@Shadoe930]

[@itsmeki2000]

[@clevelow749]

" I dont live in Frustration , I'm too pretty for that " PPEEEEEERRRRRRIIIOOOD

I never hated a character with so much love and admiration in my heart👏🏾👏🏾 her character was done fabulously and she’s fabulous her damn self

[@martindennis6837]

I am a 54 year old male who has concealed my transgender reality from my own self and everyone around me. Self medicating now for over 35 years. Believed that I was an abomination. I am mentally exhausted and can no longer live in fear and shame. I identify with so much she said.

[@samveal7434]

Her voice is perfection, I ADORE her phrasing.

[@pedroheilel130]

Very happy for her. She's doing an AMAZING jog as Elektra.

[@dallaslancour4229]

Elektra Abundance was the best tv character of 2018.
