FERNANDO

Have you always been you?
Yes! I’ve always been different but I knew I was myself when I realized how much I like dressing in women’s clothing!

What’s one thing you wish people understood about you?
I wish that they understood that just because I like wearing skirts or make-up, that I don’t want to be a woman. Men can wear dresses, hair, jewels, and all the above too!

Is there a quote or motto that you live by?
“Do what you love and you won’t work a single day in your life.” - “Work the hallway like a runway” - “Be kind to one another!”

What event in life has shaped you most as a person, and how?
My move to the United States. I came here for higher education and opportunity. I realized only with hard work you can get anywhere and I’m lucky to have family to support my crazy dreams!
