What Has the Cant� Done for YOU?
|
Cintia Graciela Flores
Who are you?
My name is Cintia Graciela Flores. I am multiple things at the same time. To be specific, I am a queer masculine of center Latina and a first generation college student. I am also an older sister, a friend, a volunteer, an artist, aspiring naturalist, and aspiring activist!
What has the Cant� done for you?
The Cant� has done so much for me in an emotional and internal way. As a freshmen I was not comfortable being me and expressing my masculine energy while still feeling feminine, and let's not even mention being a Latina. The Cant� provided me with proud colorful people who accept everyone for who they strive to be. This will be my second year in the space and I now hold a core seat for Familia X. I have gained not only internal confidence and peace, but also a growing network of awesome activist, artists, students, and friends.
