Kevin is a Colombian-Venezuelan social worker whose upbringing across Latin America shaped his deep commitment to equity, visibility, and community care. Having experienced the challenges of navigating homophobia both in his home countries and within the U.S., he brings a firsthand understanding of the barriers queer people face and the resilience required to overcome them.
In his work, Kevin is dedicated to fostering supportive, affirming spaces where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel seen, valued, and empowered to live authentically. His passion for community building is matched by his love for creative self-expression — from makeup and fashion to the broader cultural worlds that celebrate identity in all its forms.
Grounded, compassionate, and driven by purpose, Kevin infuses every aspect of his life with authenticity and intention, championing a vision of a queer community where everyone has the freedom and safety to show up as their fullest self.
