Encuentro 27: Adora Xannifer Ysaguirre–How you were born isn’t who you are

On Thursday September 8 at 3:30 Eastern, be sure to tune into the UCC’s Thursdays for the Soul Webinar featuring a panel from the Colectivo of Latinx Ministries as we kick off Latinx Heritage Month. You may or may not see a familiar face and hear a familiar voice, haha! The webinar will be streamed on the UCC’s YouTube channel where you can also find video episodes of Encuentros Latinx, like this one!

My guest today is Adora Xannifer Ysaguirre and she gives us the second deep dive about music that we’ve had on the podcast. She also shares her journey of how the UCC became family to her as she transitioned and at the end of the episode, she reads her story published in the newest Encuentros Latinx toolkit focusing specifically on transgender inclusion. I truly enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do, too, so let’s get right into this encuentro.
