Local chain stitch embroiderer Kait Makes will partner with Soft Animal + other local artists and businesses for a “Treat yo’ trans self day” on Saturday, July 8 at the Barking Legs Theater.

The day will consist of 100% free self-care services for the transgender and non-binary community in Chattanooga. Enjoy 20+ services, including free clothes and toiletries, hair care, yoga + guided meditation, and much more.

Each attendee will receive a raffle ticket to win door prizes like free photography sessions, books, tattoo sessions + more. The Chattanooga Trans Liberation Collective will also have a table set up to offer resources for the community to utilize.

Get your free ticket + pre-register for certain services.

Note: This event is open to all ages and folks, but they do ask for services and prizes to be reserved for your trans and non-binary pals. To show support, you can purchase a donation ticket to help tip the vendors or sign-up to volunteer.
