    "The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget." - Arundhati Roy

Q-team at Trans Unity 08'

qteam is a queer and trans youth of color collective of individuals with complex identities rooted in various traditionally marginalized and oppressed communities in Los Angeles.




qteam's founding members include youth who identify as immigrants, refugees, poor and working class, womyn (born and self identified), differently abled, and spiritual. qteam exists to challenge and resist the many interlocking systems of oppressions through multi-issue, grassroots organizing. qteam is committed to building and sustaining safe physical and political spaces for the empowerment of young people by advancing and supporting their natural leadership abilities through education and the promotion of wellness and self-care.

qteam believes in love, respect, dignity and self-determination. We are allies in the global social justice movement, committed to freedom and humyn rights for Everyone.

    hey qteam. Karyl-lyn, myself and about 13 other people have been working hard on this music video. Here's a rough cut. There will be a lot of visual effects and a futuristic world so just imagine the guy going into a dark skyscraper with a big escalator to go to a therapy session.
