We Are Preciosa With Jay Trevino

Host Michelle Zacarias sits down with queer social media influencer Jay Trevino, the co-creator of the grassroots queer Latin movement Preciosa, which she built alongside her wife, Eden.

Jay opens up about their four-year IVF journey to welcome their son, including a last-minute emergency C-section in Mexico after U.S. doctors refused to listen to her concerns. She reflects on navigating postpartum depression, going no-contact with her mother, and how DJing became her lifeline.
