00:00Personally, I don't have those conversations.
00:02I feel like my own sexual orientation is my own business.
00:06So it's like what my mom doesn't know isn't going to hurt her.
00:10So personally, I don't have those conversations at home,
00:14but if I'm in a setting with other people who are being homophobic, transphobic,
00:18whatever the case may be, then for sure it's definitely those conversations.
00:22I will say that even within the name MA CC, MA stands for masculine, CC stands for feminine.
00:28So it's literally the transition of a masculine to feminine.
00:32Wow. So the root of the word, which actually is a, you said is a derogatory.
00:36Yes, a derogatory term that was our aim at reclaiming.
00:41Just look how black people, we did it with the word nigga.
00:44We're reclaiming something that has ruined us, that has like killed off our people
00:49and turning it to some, this will happen to be a sexy word too.
00:52It is. Like when I said it, I was like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm saying that.
00:55I'm sorry, but it's a dope, it's a dope name. I really like it.
00:59Is there anything you want the people out there to know that may never even make it to Miami,
01:03that are watching in a whole nother country?
01:06What do you want them to know about the queer community,
01:09the queer black community in Miami as we close this thing out?
01:12We are making space for everyone within our community that is black,
01:17not just black cis people, not just black straight people.
01:21If you are a black person trying to thrive in a world under white supremacy,
01:27there is space here for you here at MaCC.

01:34I'm such a cry baby. Okay. Thank you so much for being with you guys.
