Goddess of Frump and Cardigans

This is Danna Sultana, a Columbian transgender actress, model and showgirl, together with her partner, Esteban Landrau. Esteban is also trans. He is from Puerto Rico. They are expecting their first child, Ariel, in June.

They considered using a surrogate mother, but in the end they decided to stop taking hormones for a while instead.

Danna says she is fighting transphobia through visibility. She started her career as a show girl. Over at her twitter account she underlines that a drag queen may be trans, but a trans woman is not a drag queen. 

She says:

“Being a man or a woman is not defined by your crotch; it is a matter of attitude and doing what the heart asks of you.”

on 23 June a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit Mexico with its epicenter in Oaxaca, where there is a predominant indigenous demographic. the majority of the damage occurred in indigenous pueblos that are still curently recovering from the devastating earthquake that happened 3 years ago. these same indigenous communities are also simultaneously experiencing displacement due to COVID 19 and lack of government aid. these are places that have the most vulnerability and need the most direct action and attention in recovery and aid.
