I am a mixed ethnicity (Mexican, Irish and Portuguese) white transf*g from the desert, ocean and the bay (area). I’ve spent most of my life trying to find the truth about who I really am and live as authentically as possible. I am a deviant. What does that mean to me? I am blatantly, unapologetically queer, non-monogamous, kinky, and hypersexual. I spent most of my young life in recovery spaces for alcohol and drug abuse, and practice harm reduction in my own life. Harm reduction is a gift from my ancestors.

I am a CSA survivor with CPTSD. I am anxious and depressed. Sometimes all of that doesn’t look pretty or put together, AND my life is more full of love than I ever could have dreamed.

I am co-founder of a collective called Peace Out Loud along with Ira X Armstrong and Johanna Holden. I am accountable to this collective. I am committed to anti-racism work and following Black and Indigenous leadership. I am also accountable to myself and my ancestors.

My ancestors are of blood and spirit. They defy and destroy borders. They are workers, builders, artists, dreamers, and lovers. They are queer sex workers and trans/muxe immigrants. It would be irresponsible to not say that I also come from Spanish/colonizer ancestry. The blood of oppressors and oppressed runs through my veins and I make choices every day about who I want to be. The stories of revolt are the stories that live in my family. I call in those ancestors of revolution in hopes of inviting healing to all my ancestral lines. My endless pursuit to destroy my own ego is an offering to invite all of my ancestors into healing.
