Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”

Patty Berne has transitioned away from this hellscape.

Learn about them & their work in this lovely tribute from the collective they co-founded.

Descripción de imagen: Patty Berne, una persona japonesa-haitiana con piel de color café claro, sonríe de manera juguetona; brillan de sus ojos color café amor y luz. Lleva un vestido azul tornasol con hombros descubiertos y un colgante de amatista. Su cabello castaño está recogido en su estilo distintivo: dos moños. Detrás de Patty hay un fondo color rosa, con flores radiantes rojas y amarillas. En la parte superior de la imagen, unas letras mayúsculas de color tornasol forman la frase "PATTY BERNE ¡PRESENTE!" En la esquina inferior derecha, el logotipo de Sins Invalid, un recuadro rectangular negro con letras blancas que dicen "Sins Invalid."

Con profundo dolor compartimos que Patty Berne, cofundadora y directora de Sins Invalid, se unió a les ancestres el 29 de mayo de 2025. Su amor, visión y lucha viven en nosotres. Honramos su legado continuando el trabajo que lideró. #PattyPresente
