About

Geraldine Gutiérrez Piedrahita is a trans woman of the Emberá Chamí Dojura community in Chigorodó, Antioquia, who fights for the rights of Indigenous LGBT people in Colombia. The comic was made with an Emberá community in Antioquia.

Her story comes from a territory the country forgets. We wanted it read in her own language as well as ours.
