Black Trans Woman Kesha Webster Found Dead in Jackson, Mississippi
WLBT reports. Family members have said Webster’s death was robbery-homicide, but police have yet to confirm.During the event, Webster’s mother, Sharon Taylor, begged the community to help find justice for her daughter.“Everybody share it all on Facebook,” said Taylor. “All over Facebook.
Let it go out because I want justice for my baby. Because she was loved. She had plenty of love. She didn’t deserve that. She ain’t no dog, no rag, or dirt.
She’s gonna get justice.”According to Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents, Webster worked in retail after graduating from Callaway High School.
The website also notes that she traveled a lot throughout the South. She turned 24 last month. In a news release, Tori Cooper, Human Rights Campaign’s director of community engagement for the Transgender Justice Initiative, said that Webster's life was cut too short.“At 24, Kenyatta ‘Kesha’ Webster should have had more time,” Cooper said. “Her mother’s grief that has led to calls for justice must be heard and her miraculous life must be remembered.
