Embracing Marsha P. Johnson’s Legacy

Marsha P. Johnson’s indomitable spirit and tireless advocacy continue to inspire us at Muse Health™. Born in 1945 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, she bravely confronted adversity from a young age, later finding refuge and freedom in New York City, where she embraced her true self as Marsha P. Johnson. A pivotal figure in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, Johnson’s pivotal role in the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and co-founding of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with Sylvia Rivera underscore her unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

Despite facing personal challenges, including mental health battles and HIV/AIDS, Johnson remained a steadfast voice against discrimination, leaving an enduring legacy that transcends generations. Muse Health™ honors her legacy by championing equitable healthcare access for all, embodying her spirit of courage and compassion.

Happy Pride from Muse Health™.
