Interview with Dubrazka Guerrero


Monika: Today I would like to introduce to you an amazing woman. Dubrazka Guerrero is a model and social media influencer from Venezuela. Hello Dubrazka! Could you say a few words about yourself?
 
Dubrazka: Hello, I am Dubrazka Guerrero, a beautiful transgirl who lives in the beautiful city of Spain, that is Madrid. I am a transgender girl who happily lives my life on my own terms. Actually, my family comes from Carabobo, Venezuela. Now we are based in Madrid. And we love this city so much. I live with my single dad. He loves me so much even though my mom passed away, so he gives me love and I cherish both my mom and dad. My dad always supported me in every decision in my life. And I believe that there is someone for me, who can understand my feelings and support me in every decision.
Monika: Why did you choose Dubrazka for your name?
Dubrazka: Yes dear, Dubrazka is a very rare name, I feel so special when someone calls me Dubrazka. I wish to have a name that challenges my beauty, my innocence, and my love, and this name completes my femininity. Although it also means love and independence, sharing them with people close to me. I feel like I'm a special girl in every aspect.

Interview with Tamara Adrián

1

Tamara Adrián stands as a pioneering force in the fight for transgender rights in Latin America, embodying resilience, intelligence, and unwavering dignity. A distinguished lawyer, honored professor, and devoted activist, she has used her voice to challenge the silence, her mind to challenge injustice, and her heart to envision a world where dignity is not conditional. From the university halls of Venezuela to the global stage of human rights, Tamara’s journey weaves together academic excellence, political courage, and a deeply personal pursuit of authenticity. Despite years of legal limbo in her own country, where her petition for gender recognition has been continually deferred, Tamara has remained unwavering. Her determination is not rooted in anger but in love, love for justice, for visibility, and for a new generation of trans youth who dare to dream. 
 
As a trans woman and a lesbian, she speaks openly of the transformative power of love, the strength found in knowledge, and the quiet revolution that begins when we accept ourselves fully. Tamara has stood at the crossroads of history more than once, as a candidate for Venezuela’s highest constitutional court, as a pioneer in politics, and as the subject of a feature film about her life. And yet, with all her accolades, it is her encouragement to young trans people to believe in their worth, to pursue education, and to fight for inclusion that defines her most deeply. “In order to change the world,” she says, “you must first change yourself.” In this intimate conversation, Tamara shares not only her extraordinary career but the emotional truths behind her public life, her fears, her femininity, her style, her activism, and above all, her hope. Let us now listen to a woman who has become, for so many, the voice they never had and the future they now believe in.
