Marsha went by "BLACK Marsha" before settling on Marsha P. Johnson. The "P" stood for "Pay it no mind," which is what Marsha would say in response to questions about her gender. Marsha was one of the mothers of Pride. She spent her time taking care of displace LGBTQ+ youth, dancing around the streets in her flowing garb with flowers in her hair, and brightening the day of anyone that was lucky enough to cross her path.
