Guest Bio:

Noemi Uribe (she/they) is a queer Latinx advocate living in Boston, MA. Growing up in a Latinx Pentecostal church shaped the way they saw homosexuality and Christian theology. After leaving their families church and attending a Hillsong church in Boston, they thought they had found a safe space to finally question their sexuality and faith. But what she experienced was the complete opposite leading to a mental health crisis. After leaving and surviving religious trauma, Noemi is now speaking out in order to warn others of the dangers of ill-equipped spiritual leaders and church ambiguity on LGBTQ+ policies.
