Gabrielle Celeste Hurst
I was born in 1988 in Hollywood, Florida, and reside in Miami, Florida. I began my journey of transitioning my body in confirmation of my female gender about eight years ago. It was a decisive moment of self-realization to confess a truth to myself that I had been ignoring, if not denying, all my young life. Embarking on this spiritual journey alongside the arduous endeavor of undergoing my transition gave me hope, protection, and a sense of belonging that has made me a better woman. As a trans-spiritual leader, I firmly believe that a grounding in the religious practices of one's choice is essential to one's physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
