There is far more to transitioning in the public eye than money, public relations, and logistics.

I didn't really have anyone in particular who inspired me or that I found fascinating as a kid. It wasn't until I was in my early twenties that I began to find people - and they were all historic figures - that I began to relate to and find some inspiration in.

There are very few distinctions between el bueno and el malo en la prisión militar. Instead of the good and the bad, there is the boring and la repetición - the repetitive. The routine is as endless as it is numbing.

Day-to-day life is as simple as it is routine - though my days are often long and very busy.

Visibility is not equality.
