Stephanie, 27, is a mixed Mexicana genderqueer poet and performer from Chicago’s South side. She is thrilled to work at Broadway Youth Center as a resource advocate and co-facilitator of the peer advocate program, a program serving to link violence prevention to HIV prevention. Stephanie is an artistic associate of Teatro Luna, and you may recognize her from “Machos” and “S-e-x-oh!” Stephanie is also a proud member of the Left Turn Collective, a grassroots publication of notes from the global intifada.

Did you know? If Stephanie had a superpower, it would be the ability to spontaneously burst into choreographed musical triangle dances with everyone around her.
