Nonbinary queer motivational speaker and TEDx speaker, BrandElsa Pereira, shares their inspiring journey of embracing their true self even when faced with rejection. As a TEDx speaker, BrandElsa reveals how they found their voice by taking up space in a world that tried to shrink them. For queer youth, those questioning their gender identity, individuals navigating religious beliefs alongside their sexuality, and anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, this episode offers powerful insights. If you're searching for stories of resilience, self-acceptance, and finding your voice, keep listening.
From their experiences as a Disney performer to their impactful stilt walking through Inglewood, BrandElsa unpacks the profound freedom in choosing yourself, the strength found in self-reflection, and the unexpected blessings that can emerge from adversity. They candidly discuss growing up queer, navigating religion and spirituality, and the spiritual gifts that empowered them.
BrandElsa also opens up about the challenges of gender identity, the experience of being misgendered in the entertainment industry, and their inspiring work creating Haus of Elevation to uplift and empower queer youth to live unapologetically.
This conversation is a potent reminder that you are not alone. BrandElsa's story is a testament to the transformative power of finding your voice and the strength that comes from standing tall in your truth.
✨ "If I’m going to be an easy target...let me take up all the space that I can."
