The fourth episode of the Black Moon Podcast honors the life of Muhlaysia Booker. Muhlaysia Booker was a 22 year old woman with a big personality. Raised in Dallas, TX, Muhlaysia was Black, Trans, dynamic, dramatic, determined, and absolutely hilarious. Muhlaysia describes herself as a comedian, she calls in that she will be famous, and in one of the last videos saved on her FB, she emphatically reminds us that time is fleeting and there’s no second chance on this life. On Saturday May 18, 2019, Muhlaysia Booker was seen for the last time getting into a light colored Lincoln. The next time Muhlaysia would be seen was around 6:40am that Saturday morning. She was found facedown in the street, dead from a gunshot wound.
