I use my voice to advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves or feel like they don’t belong.  I also use my faith to fight for justice and equality for all people. I believe that we can make a difference in this world by working together in the transgender community, particularly the minority community. The Transgender community Is on of the most diverse groups in America today. My goal is to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
