Welcome To Be Youuu:
We engage in the process of supporting Transgender, Nonbinary/NGC youth and adults to become confident, resilient and compassionate community members and/or leaders.
Our t arget service populations are Transgender, Non-binary,and NGC Individuals of color. Primarily residing in the rural metro areas of Pulaski County (not limited to one city/state), which encompasses our State Capitol (Little Rock). Statistical based data (ADH) centers us to focus on individuals of ages 16 and older. Arkansas is listed as of of the 7 states in which which 10% more new HIV/Communicable diseases were populated within the rural area. With the set backs and unforseen causes with Covid-19 , which disproportionately impacted the LGBTQ community. Without realistic discussions and specific strategies pertaining to Trans and NGC inclusion and visibility; we can reasonably anticipate the rising cases of HIV and suicide to continue. because we aren't able to provide resources and care for all Transgender and non-binary individuals of color.

I knew I had to make a change to make something happen for these kids so I made it my business to become their father. To them it was PAWPAW and they were my family. From my own personal experiences I assisted them with mental/emotional stability and educated them on sexual awareness. It wasn't yet discussed about transitioning but we use pronouns "he/him" when referring to masculine individuals. The mother of the house along with the daughters were respected and treated as such referring to them as her/she.
I don't mind sharing my story and letting my testimony be the motivational reason as to why I am still here. At 32 years of age I found myself stagnant with nothing to look forward to.
I began hosting LITTLE ROCK'S BLACK
PRIDE for the last 3 years since I set forth to live in my truth. I received an award of acknowledgement from the family of Dior and the community Leaders for being a resourse and being the first openly Transmale In Little Rock, AR.
May of 2016 at the age of 38 is when I fully started my FTM transition into
Keon Anderson.
Through the process of researching hormone therapy and sources that I could get access to. I was apart of a NON-COLLEGIATE FRATERNITY in which I had the chance to meet and interact with other transmasculinie people like myself. I took my destiny in who I am into my hands.
