Born transgender, Yana is a passionate advocate of equal rights for all.
“I believe that no matter who you are, you have the right to be respected and loved. No one should be treated differently because of their skin color, religion, sexual orientation, gender, social status, physical appearance and so on.”
Love and acceptance are the highest emotions we as human beings are capable of, and by being ourselves and allowing others to be themselves we make this world a better, more colorful place.
