As a queer Latine nonprofit leader, Frankie Miranda is working toward positive change. Miranda joined the Hispanic Federation, a nonprofit membership organization that works to empower Latine communities through initiatives in health, education, climate justice, and more, in 1998. Now he’s the organization’s first out president and CEO.
This is a challenging time, Miranda says, adding, “We must stay resolute in our commitment to fight for civil and human rights, especially of those who are the target of these attacks, such as queer, trans, and immigrants of color.”
“As a proud queer Puerto Rican, I have seen the power of having a space where you can be your full self, and I am extremely grateful to the people around me who have helped me reach this point of success in my life,” Miranda says. “Acknowledging our nation's diversity and pursuing greater equity and inclusion is something that should bring us tremendous pride. I am hopeful that we can all join the fight for even greater authentic expression by defending our civil and human rights.” @hispanic_federation
