POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
I’m thrilled to announce that I am an honoree on the 2026 Curve Power List! Thank you to The Curve Foundation/Curve magazine for including me in this annual recognition of 75 LGBTQ+ women and nonbinary changemakers. It is truly an honor to be named among such an extraordinary and distinguished group of past and present honorees. 

Como es la vida, no? 🤗 

Growing up, I longed for connection to a community that reflected my lived experiences. I longed for understanding, compassion, and a sense of belonging in a world that often tried to silence or shrink the most sincere parts of me. Words like “lesbian,” “dyke,” “lesbo”, and “marimacha” were often used to try to harm and shame me. So I took refuge in history books. I searched for strength in the stories of those who refused to be erased, people who, despite facing discrimination and hate, chose to stand up, speak out, uplift others, and live their best lives! As a young Bolivian lesbian, I especially searched for reflections of myself, role models who could help me believe that I, too, had a place in my home country and in this world. While it took time to find that Bolivian connection, I now understand that we are also called to be that visibility for others.
This recognition is not just about me, it belongs to my community, to those who came before me, and to those who continue to push us forward.

I share this recognition with my Lez Runners, and every young person still searching, still questioning, still hoping to see themselves reflected somewhere. I stay committed to keep showing up, speaking out, and creating spaces where we can all exist fully and freely.

Philadelphia running community friends and peers: take a stand.

Today, Queer Run and Lez Run published an open letter calling for nonbinary equity at the @philly_marathon.

Right now, nonbinary athletes cannot compete in an elite division without registering as male or female—limiting access to the highest level of competition, prize money, and support.

Philadelphia has already shown what equitable racing can look like. The Marathon should reflect that.

For years, we’ve advocated, met with race organizers and @cityofphiladelphia officials, and proposed solutions. And still, nothing has changed the elite division policy.

Meanwhile, many in the broader running community, whether due to lack of awareness or a belief that this issue is not significant enough, continue to partner with the Marathon without publicly addressing or advocating for change.

At a certain point, we have to ask: if conversations aren’t shaping decisions, what will?

Stand with us. Read the letter, sign it, and share it.

Our letter calls for:
• an elite nonbinary division
• visible advocacy from our peer running organizations and leaders
• running leaders to be thoughtful on engagement with Marathon-affiliated events while this issue remains unresolved

This shouldn’t require legal action. It should happen because it’s the right thing to do.
