I’m so excited to introduce you to my friend Kaide Solano. Kaide is the daughter of Central American immigrants. Her parents’ Catholic faith helped them survive the horrors of civil war in their native Nicaragua, and the hardships of trying to build a life in a new country. Kaide grew up as a Catholic, but as she neared adulthood she began to feel restricted by the moral teachings of the church. Her cross-country journey of self-discovery has resulted in a blossoming of her intuitive gifts, her queerness, and her commitment to living as her full, proud self.

Kaide’s story was so fascinating yet relatable that I couldn’t bring myself to cut it short. This is part one of our conversation. Look for part two after the 2023 holidays.
