Naomi Watts And Daughter Kai Schreiber Host NYC Fundraiser For Trans Justice
Naomi Watts and daughter Kai step into the spotlight to show what fierce, familial allyship for trans youth really looks like.
In a beautiful show of solidarity, Naomi Watts and her 15-year-old daughter Kai Schreiber co-hosted a benefit event in New York City on Thursday to support the Trans Justice Funding Project. The event, titled “Holy Spirit,” was the third part of a series of three organized by Mother Daughter Holy Spirit. It gathered a stylish and intergenerational crowd, but its core purpose was deeply grounded in community support and visibility for trans youth.
Held in Lower Manhattan, the evening included a fashion show, rally, and family portrait. Support came from artists, designers, and activists committed to gender justice. It was the presence of Naomi and Kai—dressed in coordinated, glittering ensembles—that made the evening quietly powerful.
Kai, who is transgender, is not often in the public spotlight. Rather than centering on her famous family, the event celebrated the connection between parents and children, creativity and activism, love and action. Organized in collaboration with LGBTQ+ artists and fashion visionaries, the night served as both a fundraiser and a cultural response to ongoing legislative attacks on trans rights.
The mother-daughter moment offered something different: a vision of care in action. It was visible support and a reminder that allyship means showing up for trans youth. And this is what radical love in action looks like.
