Nico is an Afro Tain@ Nuyorican Queer, Gender Varient fat femme born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. As a community organizer and cultural worker, Nico works to generate community building practices, spaces and values that uplift marginalized voices, and reconnect to ancestral knowledge, history and power. When he's not taking it to the streets, he likes reading, writing, cake and long walks on the beach while discussing how to dismantle fatphobia.
Not all trans and gender-nonconforming people feel “trapped” in the bodies they were born into. So why is that still the dominant way to think about trans experience and identity? Maybe it doesn't have to be.
