Bio:
I’m a Queer Latina Artivist.
My passion in life is creating multimedia projects using graphics, web,
video and any type of tool or technique. I’m a self-taught artist and tech nerd,
I like to learn new things all the time. I like to listen to people’s stories and I always want to recreate those stories using digital media and art.
I love music, films, books, taking my dog to explore new places, and any type
of live entertainment such as plays, street circus, expositions, & local music shows.
Experience: I've been learning multimedia since 2004. Video production was my first major but I like to keep busy and like to be the girl of all trades so I took graphic design as a second major.Currently I'm working on a project called "Las Venidas de Abajo" This is a youtube channel project for queer latinas. www.lasvenidasdeabajo.com
about the HILLCREST YOUTH CENTER
In order to develop into successful and fully participating citizens, our youth need a safe, welcoming and affirming space where they can be themselves and access the resources they need. The Hillcrest Youth Center is the only drop-in and recreational center in San Diego County dedicated to the needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and HIV+ (LGBTQ+) youth.
HYC offers programming for LGBTQ+ youth and allies, ages 14-18. You’ll find computer access, health education, basic financial education, youth leadership training, HIV prevention education, life skills training workshops, discussion groups, creative and performing arts programming, and amazing social activities. It's an impressive list of programs and services, and we are extremely proud of what we offer. But the heart of what the Hillcrest Youth Center offers is much larger than our excellent programs.
HYC is committed to providing a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ youth to be proud of who they are and the freedom to discover who they might become. We host approximately 300 visits from youth each month. They are 80% youth of color -- Latino, African-American, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Native American -- and 20% Anglo-American. They are youth from all over the county, representing almost every zip code. Some come from our most affluent homes, some are homeless. More than 70% are low-income and underserved.
