Barbie (they/them/elle/elli) is a trans-non-binary fat, queer, immigrant from Monterrey Mexico, raised in San Antonio, Texas. They are an activist and community organizer. Cultural organizing, art, and artivism with an inclusive LGBTQ+ framework while bringing art to their community is something Barbie is very passionate about, they believe that an important part of grassroots organizing is art and artivism. In 2017 Barbie co-founded Son Queers, a collective of queer, trans & non-binary musicians that share, teach, and play traditional Son Jarocho music in a safe inclusive environment with the mission of healing through art and music and resisting the hetero-patriarchal-normativity that is prevalent in the Son Jarocho culture.   Barbie is also a founding member of Los MENtirosos San Antonio’s premiere all-Latine drag king troupe,  a collective of queer, trans, and non-binary drag entertainers, Los MENtirosos seek to create space for all drag entities outside of the exclusive world of drag that for far too long has excluded kings that don't follow the standards of pageantry. Their Drag King Persona, Pancho Panza a is a fat-positive, king who loves to dance and shake their panza with pride. Together with their co-founding member of Los Mentirosos Nacho Marx & SirGio, they founded Drag King Bilingual Storytime which are kid-friendly events that are accessible to parents and help enrich a child’s development while promoting inclusion where D.R.A.G. Stands for Dancing, Reading, Arte y Ganas. Storytime teaches simple lessons like learning colors, shapes, and counting but also promotes important subject matter like body positivity, gender identity through the introduction of pronouns, and pride in Latine culture. Barbie is a poet & versadore (a person who writes and/or sings versos in the Son Jarocho community) Their poems have been published in different local zines like St. Sucia, Panocha Zine, That Grey Zine & others. They recently wrote & recorded a song in versos and decima called La Morena Trans to honor 3 Texan trans women activists and organizers & the work they do to fight for their rights & the rights of the Trans, non-binary & gender expansive community.
