With the strength of her community behind her, Sammie continues to spread positivity for all transgender Latinx people escaping persecution and extends her support to those who are still struggling.
As part of Transgender Awareness Month, Sammie has agreed to share her story of resiliency with us so that we might all learn and be moved by her words.
