Crafting a Successful Future from a Troubled Past
How many times a day do you tell yourself that you’re not good enough? Have you ever revisited the way you used to think before anyone else’s opinion of you mattered? Life can feel like a domino effect of pain and unspoken truths for many. What if we dedicate our lives to work on the way we communicate to ourselves? As a trans, pansexual, Latinx woman, Zoey Luna has been through hell, but she continues to pick herself back up. Like most of those who have been marginalized, she did not ask for these mistreatments. All she wants for herself and others is to achieve the things that matter most. We all want to feel special and that we belong. It’s just a matter of realizing that you are completely entitled to standing up for your dreams.
See Zoey Luna in action.
This Trans Latinx rising star will soon be in all your favorite films.
Zoey Luna is an up and coming actress, activist, and survivor whose life story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. As a transgender Latinx woman, Zoey has faced discrimination and adversity throughout her life. At just 11 years old, she became an activist when her school district tried to expel her for being openly transgender. With the help of her mother and the ACLU, she fought back and ensured that educators in her district would receive training to treat every LGBTQ child with dignity and respect.
Zoey’s story led to her becoming a documentary muse in her teen years. She appeared in “Raising Zoey” and MTV’s Emmy award-winning “Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word,” – sharing her narrative and educating others about transgender issues. Zoey has delivered transawareness talks to groups ranging from colleges to police departments. She frequently appears in various Pride campaigns and was the youngest co-grand marshal of LA Pride.
Zoey’s journey has not been without challenges. She was kicked out of her childhood home by her mother and forced to navigate the world alone at just 17. Throughout this difficult time, Zoey never lost sight of her dreams and continued to pursue her passion for acting. She landed her breakout role in Blumhouse and Sony’s “The Craft Legacy,” playing Lourdes, a Latina trans witch who desires to build community and make the world a better place with her magic. Zoey has also appeared in shows like “Pose” and films like “Dear Evan Hansen”. Next she will be seen in Parker Brennon’s upcoming feature “Hauntology.”
Through kindness, patience, and compassion for herself, she gained autonomy and overcame drug abuse, depression, and anxiety. Zoey is now a thought leader in the trans community, navigating her life by following her authenticity and encouraging others to do the same. Through her art, her social media, and her popular keynotes, she provides a model for resilience and perseverance, inspiring others to embrace their true identities.
