Angelica Ross, 40, is a self-made transwoman, veteran and actress who advocates for transgender and nonbinary rights and access to work (Advocate, 2015). She was born in Kenosha, Wisc. and raised in Racine, Wisc. where she finished high school. While growing up, Ross was disparaged by her mother, an Evangelical Christian, because of her LGBTQ+ identity (Ennis, 2015). She was regarded as a “feminine” child and in adolescence was not sure whether she identified as a gay man or someone else. At the age of 17, Ross survived a suicide attempt prompted by her mother’s cruel remarks. It was then that Ross remembered that she wanted to live rather than die (Bried, 2015). She ran away from home after this rejection by her mother (Rudulph, 2016).

– Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility by issuing its first social bond of $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount. As part of the company’s multitiered environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, the net proceeds from the issuance will support new and existing eligible social programs, including investments in affordable housing and enhancements to essential nonprofit services for communities in need.
“We were thrilled by investor reception of our first social bond, particularly in the face of significant market volatility,” said Corporate Treasurer Donna Goodrich. “Our heavily oversubscribed issuance demonstrated investor enthusiasm for this asset class and a desire to further the important work of building our communities, while also affirming confidence in Truist’s credit quality.”
