Reflecting on the Project's work, Kerry states, "The Pink Triangle Legacies Project represents the profound intersection of remembrance, education, and activism for me. It embodies the resilience and strength of those who faced persecution during the darkest times of history. My motivation to be involved stems from a deep personal significance as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. As a teen, I yearned for connections to queer history, sparking my passion to ensure its availability for future generations.   This project embodies remembrance and activism, motivating me to honor the resilience of those persecuted and to dismantle ongoing systems of oppression."
