23 April 2026, a transphobic murder that so far has no media coverage. This post's text all comes from the above link:

Lucas "Luca" Ameh Avery Knapp was a cherished friend, beloved family member, and devoted brother of trans experience in our LGBQTIA+ community- but he was many other things, too. He was a chef, a poet, an adventurer, a musician, a farmer, a healer, a student of martial arts, a dancer, an artist, a dreamer, a protector, and an ally to anyone who asked and a fierce advocate for those who wouldn't.

He was all these things and more, and on Saturday, April 18th, 2026 we are heartbroken to share the devastating news that he would also become a victim. Luca was tragically killed in what authorities are investigating as a possible hate crime. To anyone who knew him, Luca was a vibrant, joyful person who touched everyone around him with his deep well of kindness, infectious appreciation for this life and all its Earthly inhabitants, and an unwavering generousity of spirit. He was the least deserving of such a cold and untimely end.

And so, we are raising funds to cover funeral and burial costs, support Luca's family during this unimaginable time, and ensure Luca receives the dignified farewell he deserves. Any additional funds will go toward private investigative work and legal advocacy to help bring those responsible for Luca's murder to justice.

No one should lose their life simply for being who they are, and especially not someone who committed his life in service of everyone around him. In Luca's honor, we ask for your support — whether financial or by sharing this page. Every contribution brings us one step closer to giving Lucas's loved ones some relief during the hardest days of their lives.

Thank you for standing with us.

"You can sit still and stop punishing yourself

Maybe in two or ten or fifty years

Gentleness will become the default

Movement of your limbs and

It's not our fault

We were taught to deny our own natures

Not our fault

Not your fault

Listen

There are fifty thousand ways the body can say No

And fifty million ways a sick society

Can force you to move anyways but

Listen

If you can manage to escape

There is rest and there is time

Earth is still here

Waiting for you to remember

You're a piece of nature

Like any ancient swamp

Petrified into stone

Listen

I'm not saying it's easy no

But it is possible and it is worth it and

We need you"

Being a leader and being a visionary go hand in hand. Every organization starts with a vision to get somewhere in the future. However, this vision can often be dynamic in nature and can constantly keep getting modified. It is the job of a leader to provide the organization with a direction to move in order to move closer to the desired vision. Visionary leaders provide immense motivation to an organization’s employees as they enable the organization to realize its full potential and see where they can reach. It is important to always have the bigger picture in mind while taking care of smaller goals.

A good leader and more importantly a visionary leader is one who can help the organization reach its vision and objectives. Read on to understand my take on some of the key traits of a visionary leader. 

  1. Excellent Communicators You might be a having an excellent futuristic vision of your organization or team. But, a good vision does not mean anything if it is not efficiently communicated to the members of the organization. Good leaders will often use their charismatic nature to help the members of the organization visualize the objectives of the organization better and understand the bigger picture.

  2. Risk Factor Be it a small scale project or a large scale program, there is always an element of risk. A true visionary always keeps the risky factors in mind while planning the growth path of his org. A good visionary must be able to gauge the situation and take calculated risks to move towards the vision. 

3. Maintaining a Healthy Balance Between Action and Vision While having a vision is one of the most crucial aspects for an organization, taking action and delegating tasks to the appropriate employees is equally important. The balance between the two is created by effective communication between the leader and the employees regarding what to do and how to get closer to the vision. This, in turn, requires the leader to have a good understanding of his team and their abilities. Knowing the factors that motivate his team will enable him to act on the company’s vision better. An employee can only realize their peak performance in a work environment that is conducive to their growth. Having a positive and stress-free work environment will enable your vision to become more realistic and achievable to your employees. It will also allow the members to push their creative limits and come up with more ways to move towards the vision. 

4. Immense Charisma and Enthusiasm Visionary leaders are required to always keep their charisma and enthusiasm high. Their eyes should be always set on the goal and the bigger picture. They should be willing to come up with new ways to attain their goals even if some of them fail to work out. After all, they are a leader and have the ability and power to make important decisions. A person of this position should be able to constantly inspire their co-workers and keep their morale high, especially when dealing with tough situations involving external pressures.
