As we lead up to Trans Day Of Visibility, Jotxs y Recuerdos, pays homage to Antonia Padilla, a trans Latina le***an from San Antonio who was a staff photographer for the Brownsville Herald from 1985-2000. While her public work at the Brownsville Herald required her to maintain a professional persona within a conservative social climate, another body of images reveals a more intimate dimension of her photographic practice. In the privacy of her home, Padilla turned the camera toward herself, creating self-portraits that captured the gender expression she could not publicly embody at the time. If her newspaper photography documented the external realities of the border, these private photographs documented an internal landscape of identity, desire, and survival, revealing how photography became a space where she could momentarily inhabit her authentic self. Padilla’s archive shows that trans people have always existed in South Texas. 💜 podcast episode released on the TDOV 💜

⭐️PODCAST • EPISODE⭐️ Why hasn’t Donna ISD changed the racist logo? 🎙️
Angela Randall, a le***an Latina from Donna, Texas, talks about her experience of coming out. She recounts growing up in a racially segregated valley, dealing with homophobia, and discovering her Black ancestry through an Ancestry DNA that connected her family’s history to the Underground Railroad and a legal battle over land in South Padre Island. She also emphasizes the importance of the significance of family and community in her life, particularly in Dallas’s LGBTQ+ scene.
