Justice4Eyricka





A Beautiful Trans Woman Eyricka King, also known as Rapunzel Mizrahi if you’re on the ballroom scene, has been at the hands of sexual abuse from inmates at the Franklin Correctional Facility. Eyricka has been reporting these problems to correctional officers; which, only made things worse for her. In a letter written to her “gay” Mother, Kelly Harrison, she stated correctional officers has also been abusing and attacking her and they have also thrown her in “the box” in attempt to silence her. She has had some support from one officer, Ms. Southers, who has had her moved to another dorm from the dorm she was being sexually harassed in by her roommate. She was then approached by the same guy threatening her with a group of others, she proceeded to ask another sergeant to move her because of these problems and he did just that. A black van arrived with 3 other sergeants eager to help until they found out it was a transgender. One said “I don't feel like dealing with this pussy faggot cuff him now,” leading to them all brutally attacking her and calling out more transphobic slurs. The facility is also denying her medical treatment. She has wrote 3 other letters to her Mom since the incident had taken place (June 30th) and they have all been torn up and returned to her. She is afraid that they are going to kill her and call it suicide.


Eyricka Hand written letter:






My question is why are transgender people being incarcerated with the gender they were assigned at birth. It would only be fair and appropriate that they be incarcerated with their genders. Yes, prison/jail is a place for rehabilitation, but these people should not be treated less than human. Eyricka Thompson is not the first trans to be mistreated inside of these correctional facilities, but we must put an end to this for the entire LGBT+ community.


How could you help?

Rihanna's Anti 1st year anniversary

Christopher Polk/Getty Images for WESTBURY ROAD ENTERTAINMENT LLC Rihanna at MAMA Gallery for  "ANTI" artwork release party on Oct. 7, 2015 in Los Angeles, Calif.       A nti  was the most anticipated album for almost 3 years and it was definitely worth the wait; as it is Rihanna's most cohesive body of work yet. On this album Rihanna made timeless, quality songs that she likes; not the usual generic pop music she usually makes. This album has no trace of Stargate, Calvin Harris, or Sia, who she usually collaborates with on her records. On this record she incorporated multiple different genres into one album, while telling a story most women can relate to...A story of being in love; the highs the lows, and the words "I love you" and the regretted words "I hate you." Even the album packaging itself was extraordinary and creative, she featured 7 poems in braille; 2 poems were  featured on the front cover and the back and 5 more painted poems
