Re-invention

Hola! I’m Roberto and my episode is about re-invention... I had a good job in Mexico, but I needed a change. So I said BYE BITCHES and moved to London. Seven years later... you can take the girl out of Mexico but you can’t take Mexico out of the girl. I have my roots in Mexico, as well as my new roots in London... In my episode of Queer Roots and Routes, Amar shares a story about the hypocrisy of the police who wear Pride badges. Then Rob and Asad have a conversation about drag, coming out, and being fabulous. Their stories help me to see how I’ve reinvented myself in London, founding an organisation called Número de Serie, partnering with artists and designers to improve awareness for HIV and sexual health. If you need help reporting violence, a hate crime, or even something about the police, there’s a charity called GALOP which is the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity. Támbien, aquí en español.
