Unveiling Marsha P. Johnson: The Untold Story of Joy, Defiance, and Revolution in Tourmaline’s New Film
It’s a tribute to Tourmaline that, when watching Michael Kasino’s documentary Pay It No Mind after reading the book, I already felt like I knew Marsha. And since reading the book, I see her so often throughout our culture. There she is, jamming with Beyoncé on “Virgo’s Groove”—they share the star sign—loving the Renaissance album. She’s the spirit animating the mother figures on Pose, whispering in RuPaul’s ear on Drag Race. She’s in small acts of kindness done whole-heartedly. In my garden, I think of which flowers I’d give her for her hats.
