Alright, so, today I wanna talk about something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart lately. It’s about a guy named Torrence “Chevy” Hill. I stumbled upon this story, and man, it just hit me hard. So I wanted to share what I learned and what I’ve been doing to try to understand and process it all.
I first heard about Chevy through some online reports. From what I gathered, he was a 35-year-old Black transgender man living in Atlanta. And the news wasn’t good – it said he was murdered. It’s just so messed up. I mean, this guy was just living his life, you know? And then this happens. It’s just… it’s beyond words.
So, I started digging deeper. I wanted to know more about who Chevy was. I read that he was well-known in his community. People called him Righteous, which I think says a lot about his character. It sounds like he was someone who was respected and loved by those around him.
Here’s what I’ve been doing since I found out:
- Reading: I’ve been reading every article I can find about Chevy. There isn’t a ton out there, but each piece gives a little more insight into who he was.
- Reflecting: I’ve been spending a lot of time just thinking about the whole situation. It’s just so unfair, and I keep thinking about what his friends and family must be going through.
- Talking: I’ve been talking to my friends about this. It’s not easy, but it helps to share the burden and also to raise awareness. I think it’s important that people know about Chevy and what happened to him.
- Learning: This whole thing has made me realize how much I still have to learn about the challenges faced by the transgender community, especially Black transgender individuals. I’ve been trying to educate myself more on these issues.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that this story has really affected me. It’s a stark reminder of the hate and violence that still exists in the world. But it’s also a reminder of the importance of standing up for what’s right and showing compassion for one another.
I don’t have all the answers, and I’m definitely still processing everything. But I felt like I needed to share this, even if it’s just to get it off my chest. Maybe it’ll make someone else stop and think, or maybe it’ll just add another voice to the chorus of people who are mourning the loss of this guy, Torrence “Chevy” Hill.
Rest in peace, Chevy. You deserved better.
