New Frontera: #TranslatinaPower in 2017 Political Climate
This session will highlight the issues related to the current political climate and the ways in which Trans Latin@s are resisting and combating to claim existence.
Bamby Salcedo is the founder of the Los Angeles-based TransLatin@ Coalition. Her most recent employer was Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
