Alejandra is a Latina trans woman who fled violence and transphobia in Mexico, first to America and then to the Netherlands.
Alejandra has meanwhile become an expert in surviving poverty, violence, drug abuse, sex work, surviving illegality and has also experienced a lot of stigmatization. As a result, she has not only optimized her own survival techniques, but can now use them to help others from the trans community. “Only together can we make progress”, is her motto in the T-Huis, but also at Papaya Kuir, where she fulfills many roles.
Alejandra is involved with T-Huis cafes as hostess of the T-Cafés. In addition, she illustrated and designed the T-Huis logo. Do you want to know more about Alejandra? Go buy her book and you can read all about her life; written in Dutch. Get the book: “De waarheid zal me bevrijden“.
