Title

Queer Black-Mexican rabbi shares her unique point of view

Subject

Ramona Hernandez-Perez is a queer, female Black-Mexican rabbi in her 60s. She was transgender and is now female, explaining "I don't want to be a third gender. My transition has passed. I want to be female, period. I'm me."

Description

Her work as a rabbi is accomplished through a mission she started called Abyssinian Reform Hebrew Congregations. Hernandez-Perez said she is from the same line of rabbis which goes back to Rabbi Arnold Ford and Rabbi Wentworth Matthew and many other rabbis of the African diaspora.
