The Oasis
Our Story
The Journey to the Oasis
After years of searching for a family gathering property, Miss Major found the perfect place in Little Rock, Arkansas in May 2019. Guided by a powerful spiritual presence, she knew this was the one. With support from grassroots donors, House of gg purchased the Oasis, a place where their vision could come to life.
Our Home
Discover the Oasis
The Oasis features 4 bedrooms, 2 full and 2 half baths, situated on a 1/2 acre in a mixed-race neighborhood. This unique Little Rock home includes a swimming pool, a huge screened-in porch, multiple pergolas with wisteria and grapevines, huge oak trees, double ovens, and a full-size freezer and fridge. It’s a sanctuary designed for comfort and community.
Our Journey
Resilience and Growth
Two weeks after purchasing the Oasis, Miss Major suffered a stroke and spent most of the year recovering. Just as her recovery was complete and plans for Spring family gatherings were underway, COVID-19 hit, postponing events. This time, however, allowed for essential repairs and improvements. Despite the delays, nearly 40 people from various states have visited the Oasis since it was acquired.
In November 2021, House of gg acquired the house next door, known as the Guest House, expanding the property to two houses on half an acre. They now host family gathering weekends for transgender people, especially Black transgender women. These weekends are dedicated to fun, fellowship, relaxation, and restoration. The Oasis provides a space to take a break, swim, enjoy good food, laugh, listen to music, watch movies, and recharge for the ongoing fight for their lives.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have helped make my dreams and the Oasis a reality and I can’t wait to welcome you all soon.” – Miss Major
