Devotion: profound dedication, loyalty, or love for a person, activity, or cause.

To love like a dog. To give everything and receive nothing but table scraps. To always want more.

Gia Love as Miss Black Extraordinary for The Ganzy 🏆

Miss Black Extraordinary (“MBE”) embraces and sheds light on Black and trans-women in the most sophisticated and respectable way. For this project, The GANZY worked with Gia Love (she/her) as the sole muse. Gia Love is a Black trans woman from New York City, who amplifies conversations surrounding body, race, and trans identity through her work as a model and activist. We are highlighting Black beauty in a way that mirrors triumph and victory amongst Black trans women that exist in this world.
