Born and raised in California, Angel is first generation-Guatemalan. Being young, gay, and a person of color, he had to overcome his fear of being rejected or not being good enough if he chose to embrace all parts of himself, good and bad, and it sure didn’t help when he became a born-again Christian in 2016. Since then, he has reclaimed his identity, and has worked hard to accept that God loves him the way he is, and that it takes faith to overcome any obstacles— faith that he found in the recovery community. Along with faith, he discovered his alter ego, Linda Summers, who has helped him share his painful and most beautiful experiences in drag with the San Francisco community as a form of healing.
