Summary
Terry-Kay Walker, a transgender woman fleeing persecution in Jamaica, endured violence, homelessness, and even sex work to survive—until a death threat with a murdered friend’s video forced her to seek refuge. After being denied entry to Amsterdam and losing hope, she finally found safety in Canada through Rainbow Railroad’s refugee program, despite a U.S. policy reversal that shut down her Colombian pathway. Now, she’s preparing to celebrate her first Pride in Toronto—a hard-won victory amid a global crisis, as LGBTQ+ asylum seekers continue to rise and funding for aid organizations like Rainbow Railroad dwindles.
