Introducing: Angelito!


Hello My name is Angelito Aya and I worked for Persad for 3 years in their Street Outreach Services and Closing the Gap programs which involved working with the LGBTQ youth community on a one-on-one basis.  I participated in Dreams of Hope for 5 seasons.  Dreams of Hope educates audiences about current LGBTQ issues through their own works of art: singing, dance, spoken word, and small skits.  I work a lot with FTM folks who are venturing through their transition with hormones, gender reassignment surgeries, home situations, school situations, and casual dating scene.  With my training from Persad and Skills in Dreams Of Hope, I bring some project building to the "Service" unit of ITL's Peer Mentorship Program.
