77 - Latinas in LGBTQ+ Linda and Valerie

Welcome to the first episode of the Latinas in LGBTQ series. Growing up in a Mexican Catholic family, I was only exposed to the heteronormative norms of society. So I looked for gay content on the internet like Youtube and Instagram and I discovered that it shadowed my reality. There is content out there but hardly any from Mexican, Latina, or children of immigrants stories.

For this series, I recorded with 6 Latinas in the LGBTQ+ community and I am excited to share their stories with you. I decided to start the series with a love story because who doesn’t like a feel good story!

My first guests are a married couple, Linda and Valerie. Linda is a California based Dj, known as Vonkiss. She is one of the busiest and well respected female DJs in the scene. Her wife Valerie is a resident make up artist for Fashion Week in New York, London, Milan, Paris and specializes in fashion , artists, music videos, and red carpet events. A big thank you to both of them for sharing their love story with us!

You can find them on instagram as @vonkiss and @valerievonprisk.
