Death of Koko Da Doll shocks friends and family
Many people have been shocked and upset by the news of Williams’ death. Her friends and coworkers have shared their sorrow on social media. Williams was known as a leader in the Black transgender community and an inspiration to many people in that group.
Williams’ death is a warning that transgender people still have to deal with violence and discrimination. The Human Rights Campaign says that at least 44 transgender or non-binary people were killed severely in the United States in 2021. Most of these people were transgender women who were Black or Latinx.
Williams’ life and work will continue to inspire and empower others, and her death is a heartbreaking reminder that transgender people still need to fight for freedom and justice.
