I’m an advocate, community organizer, speaker, and blogger based in Dallas, Texas, dedicated to fighting for oppressed communities. My activism began in 2014 with my blog, My Trans Life, where I shared my journey and worked to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the transgender community. Since then, I’ve engaged in a wide range of initiatives, including advocating for trans rights, supporting and advocating for unhoused individuals, promoting mental health awareness, fighting for LGBTQ+ equality, advocating for immigration rights, and opposing capitalism and Western imperialism.
Previously, I volunteered with the Human Rights Campaign DFW Steering Committee and the Community Advisory Board for the Dallas Police Department. However, in 2020, I chose to step away from those roles after realizing these institutions were perpetuating harm rather than fostering meaningful change. I saw the need to focus my efforts on grassroots organizations and movements dedicated to transformative justice and dismantling oppressive systems. These institutions were not equipped to create the systemic change our communities desperately need; instead, they often reinforced the very harm I sought to address.
Now, I support organizations and movements advancing collective liberation, including the Trans Empowerment Coalition, House of Rebirth, Nu Trans Movement, PYM Dallas, DFW Anti-war Committee, La Frontera Nos Cruzó, and many others.
My advocacy has been featured in interviews with Univision, Telemundo, CNN, CBC Radio, Futuro Media, and The Lily by The Washington Post. I’ve also spoken at and participated in numerous discussion panels and events, such as the Dallas Transgender Day of Visibility, Dallas Transgender Day of Remembrance, ONE Marriott Texas Coalition’s Lone Star Round Up Gala, Pride Night celebrations, the Lez Talk Women’s Empowerment Conference, the Creating Change Trans Institute, Latino Linq’s EntreNos Conference, Broadway Dallas’ Black Art Matters panel discussion, Finn’s Place LGBTQ+ Affordable Housing Fair, and the Stonewall Democrats of Dallas Hispanic Heritage Month Panel featuring LGBTQ+ Latino Leaders, among many others.
