Aleja Jimenez is a first-gen Latina, a queer woman, a spiritual- gangster, ​a lover of music and dance, a praiser of Mother Earth, and the eldest ​daughter of Mexican-migrant parents who have always embedded a ​strong sense of respect and passion for culture in her. From her poetry ​to her fashion label to her PR and Marketing Firm, leveraging her communities, which are ​intersectionally marginalized, is her ultimate motivator. It has served as ​the catalyst in her life and inspired her to throw herself into her creative gifts. Beyond her creativity, she is a leader ​and spokesperson for her community, often using her online platforms ​to raise awareness around LGBTQ+ rights, women's reproductive rights, ​immigration legislation, and racism. Aleja is unapologetically bold.
