Bio

Imported from Venezuela 4 and half years ago, where she used to work as a journalist, Marion recently joined Reelout as a Project Coordinator. Having endured the hardships of belonging to the LGBTQ community in a developing and conservative catholic country, Marion feels very lucky and proud about recently becoming a Canadian citizen; therefore, she is very passionate about fighting for queer and immigrant's rights. When she's not passionately working for Reelout, Marion is doing yoga, dancing salsa or any sort of Latin-American groove, writing, spending time with her beloved family or involved in some sort of community oriented activity. "My community and my family are my life", she says.
