The Trans Takeover
About
Zines have served as mediums of arts for many years of this planet. Magazines have additionally played their own role in terms of distribution, vision, and pushing the narrative of pop-culture in a way that moves us forward - and I would argue even sometimes back. In seeking how I want to archive my journey of trans femme baddie-ness, and the folks I walk alongside with I felt it was time to give The Trans Takeover breathe.
Mission
A culture magazine that offers a space for emotions, physical, mental, and spiritual health to be seen as the gender badasses we are. By starting with my lens I own the story I feel called to share, and in time will bring contributors who will help build the vision even further.
Vision
“By finding power in my voice I wish to engage further with the way I know Trans folks can show up. My work and passion comes from knowing I would’ve loved to see someone like me represented in any medium I express. Trans folks are magic, and in me owning my journey I hope to spark further change in your life.”
I'm Figuring It Out
"I see myself as the Chameleon of the world, the Trans Alchemist who understands that through writing I’ve been able to claim a part of me that also shows up further in the world. In the journey I learned that tetris is best played when you breathe before each step. I see that the shape of life was not a single model but rather an origami of beauty that captured my journey. In writing I found that I could process love, death, and even the way power impacts the communities I'm a part of. I was able to envision a world for both my community and culture that allowed Camila to show up more."
