A beautiful act of resistance in the face of a terrible law in North Carolina

After protesting in front of the North Carolina governor’s mansion all day, Micky Bradford just couldn’t take it anymore.

“I was tired. The most I could do was dance away my anger, frustration, and sadness,” Bradford said in a telephone interview Friday.

So she started voguing. Right next to the police officers protecting the governor’s residence.

“It’s important to see a black trans woman be unafraid of police and policing,” Bradford said of her dance.
