Tribute To Nyla and Her Mother

She was a confident young woman as a thirteen-year-old One of the luckiest women in the world Because her mother understood She was never thrown out of her home She was nurtured and loved Dresses with glitz and glitter were purchased She is known as Nyla I am a friend of her mother’s Her mother is the wisest woman in the universe She knew that Nyla was a woman Before Nyla knew She nurtured her and dressed her and loved her Nyla is one of the most famous transgendered women in Kansas City She has been on talk-shows, encouraging and uplifting the youth Who were thrown out of their homes by hard-hearted, close-minded parents.

This is so delightful to hear about, because I, too, have known young people who were thrown out of their homes because they expressed their true feelings. They had a real struggle to become who they knew they were all along.

Nyla's mother is one of my very best friends. I tell her all the time how proud I am of her. Her daughter has done all kinds of wonderful things to help transgender youth who need a place to live, food, etc. She is an advocate and really great at it.
