79 - Latinas in LGBTQ+ Laura Fernanda Ruiz

Welcome to the third episode of the Latinas in LGBTQ series.

Growing up in 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 Latinas in the LGTBQ+ community and I am excited to share their stories with you.

Joining me today is Laura Fernanda Ruiz. She is a Mexican writer, author of ‘Palabras de Desayuno,’ she owns a media production company and is the co host of ‘Las Provincianas Podcast.’ Fernanda lives in Mexico City along with her wife and she joins me to share about her coming in and coming out story.
