Awakening Love

We envision a Mississippi where transgender and gender-diverse people can live safely, express themselves freely, and access the support they need to thrive. Awakening Love MS brings LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies together through affirming resources, education, wellness, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Community voices guide our work as we continue leading with love.
Our Vision

Awakening Love MS is a trans-led community organization founded by Love Latonia. Since opening Mississippi’s first trans-led Drop-In Center in August 2025, we have connected LGBTQIA+ people and allies with practical support, health education and referrals, workforce development, and spaces to belong. We lead with love and listen to what our community needs.
