My name is Giselle Ramirez and I am a working class-chicana, a proud queer womyn, concerned citizen of the world, and a conscientious objector to dehumanization.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. I am a product of immigrant parents that illegally migrated from a small town in Guadalajara, Mexico called Tlajomulco to Los Angeles, CA in search for the American dream. In 1986 Ronald Reagan passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, that granted amnesty to all illegal immigrates that migrated into the US prior to 1982 by applying for residency.
