From Carrie Maxwell’s article for Windy City Times:
Iconic performance artist and LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS activist Chilli Pepper died surrounded by close friends at her Gold Coast neighborhood apartment on Sept. 11 after a years-long battle with colon cancer.
When asked about her life outside of her performance and activist work, Chilli was elusive about details such as her date of birth and given name, although it has been reported that she grew up in Detroit.
