I am a third-gender being, born from the fertile volcanic soil of Antigua, Guatemala and raised in the hyphy, raucous and incomparable Bay Areaaaa. My colorful life experiences have been shaped by the amazing people that I have had the fortune to connect with, including environmental justice advocates, community leaders, spiritual leaders, teachers, fighters and lovers -- they have all inspired me to become who I am today. I am in process of remembering who I am by reconnecting with the land and my ancestors.
