For me, navigating my intersectional identities has always been tricky. Growing up as a queer latinx, I found myself disheartened by the lack of representation in media and in my community. Yo Soy is my response to that lived experience. In this podcast, I sit down with other Latinx LGBTQ+ identifying individuals who share their stories, passions, and experiences with listeners. Yo Soy will amplify voices of the Latinx LGBTQ+ community and ensure that our stories get heard ahora y por siempre.
