Interview with Hunta Williams
Hunta Williams is a deaf, black trans man. Williams grew up in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Minneapolis to attend culinary school. From a young age, he felt “different” than his peers, always playing with boys in school. In this oral history, Williams shares his thoughts on coming out, his complicated relationship with his sexual orientation post-transition, police brutality and the reflective process he went through for his medical transition. Williams’ story sheds important light on the intersections of trans, deaf, black, and male identities.
