It's not unusual to have support from friend and family, but in a big and busy city like New York, feeling support in your community is a rare gem. Walking into Cafe con Libros for the first time, I did not anticipate that a year later I would have a group of friends, a new hobby, a new outlook. I feel so lucky for the perspectives that are different from my own which I would not have come to know without the Cafe. Kalima has said "start where you are," which continues to resonate with me, and I suggest everyone start here and grow with us.

Medium, 2018

"I think transwomen, and transpeople in general, show everyone that you can define what it means to be a man or woman on your own terms. A lot of what feminism is about is moving outside of roles and moving outside of expectations of who and what you're supposed to be to live a more authentic life."
