Is our Latine cultura embracing LGBTQ+ identities more readily than in the past, or are we going backwards? This episode explores the challenges and triumphs faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Latine communities worldwide, especially women.
We delve into the powerful story of Angelika Vega, a young gay woman who I met in Medellin, Colombia. She vulnerably shared her story to me during a spontaneous recording with the Life Lnxx podcast.
Isolated during COVID and yearning for love from her mother, Angelika bravely comes out, hoping for comfort and acceptance. Nothing prepared her for what came next. Her journey of self-acceptance and resilience will move you. Get ready to be inspired and go to work supporting LGBTQ+ folks worldwide!
