Purpose:  Transgender (trans) women of color's HIV vulnerabilities are shaped by social exclusion and intersectional stigma. There is a dearth of tailored HIV prevention interventions with trans women of color in Canada. The objective of the study was to explore trans women of color's HIV prevention priorities and to pilot test an intervention developed from these priorities.  Methods:  We conducted a qualitative implementation science study to develop HIV intervention strategies with trans women of color in Toronto, Canada. First, we conducted a focus group with trans women of color ( n =8) to explore HIV prevention priorities. Second, we held a consultation with trans women of color community leaders ( n =2). Findings informed the development of the TRANScending Love (T-Love) arts-based workshop that we pilot tested with three groups of trans women of color ( n =18). Workshops were directly followed by focus groups to examine T-Love products and processes.  Results:  Focus group participants called for researchers to shift the focus away from trans women's bodies and HIV risks to address low self-acceptance produced by intersecting forms of stigma. The community leader consultation articulated the potential for strengths-focused arts-based approaches to address self-worth. T-Love participants described how workshops fostered self-acceptance and built connections between trans women of color.  Conclusions:  Findings demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of an arts-based strategy with trans women of color to elicit group-based sharing of journeys to self-acceptance, fostering feelings of solidarity and connection. Providing opportunities for dialogue and reflection about individual and collective strengths may reduce internalized stigma among trans women of color.
