Welcome back to Living Out Loud with Laura! On this podcast, we refuse to treat real people like numbers, and we stand firmly for facts over fear.

In this powerhouse studio interview, I am thrilled to sit down with the amazing Quinnie Perez. Quinnie is a proud trans Latina advocate, the daughter of Mexican immigrant farmworkers, and a local candidate running for the Orange County Soil & Water Conservation District Council right here in Florida.

We dive incredibly deep into what true representation looks like, weaving environmental resiliency together with labor rights, human dignity, and the power of identity. Quinnie is fighting the exact same fight in the media and political space to elevate community voices over cold administrative statistics.
