It is a list of adjectives that do not define the essence of Morganna Love. And why do we start with a list of things that don't define her as a person? Well, so that you can think about the opposite of these adjectives and find a brighter path to the beautiful person that Morganna is.

Originally from San Miguel, Love's talents were evident from a young age and she showed a great affinity for the arts as well as a tendency towards singing with a preference for pop music. But rather than following that path, she would be directed towards another musical genre when her parents asked her to focus on finishing a university degree, so she chose to study opera at Bellas Artes and in the most prominent theaters in Mexico.

This is how Morgana's delicate voice has delighted thousands of privileged ears who have heard it. An example of this is the song "I love you"whose nuances and lyrics were dedicated to the person to whom she decided to give her unconditional love at that moment despite the distance since she was in Thailand undergoing gender reassignment surgery.

That beautiful country of sumptuous nature would become a place of great importance for Love as she would also participate in the beauty pageant “Miss International Queen” in which the prize would be $10,000 dollars to be able to pay for the aforementioned surgery. The entire odyssey of the trip to Bangkok and the medical process that Morganna went through was documented for the feature film “Made in Bangkok” which can be found on the Cine Canibal platform.

After a few years of its realization, the gaze of Morganna The comment on beauty pageants is not critical but constructive, having concluded that women should not be competing against each other. It has never been about who is the best, but about supporting each other and applauding our achievements so that our voices are never silenced again.

“It is not possible that they even put Shakira against Miley Cyrus when both of them released songs about disappointment in love and female empowerment. This is not what it is about and it should never be like this.”

And so, at LocalGuide, we make a strong call to San Miguel de Allende to support our beautiful trans community. To make it a place where our sisters do not feel fear, but rather respect and admiration for daring to be who they are. We, like Morganna, will always give a voice to those who have not been heard and together we will sing.

Because they were never born in the wrong body, it is we as a society who have made mistakes and we have no choice but to change and hope that these beautiful women can be happy, sheltered by the shadow of the Parish that grants comfort to whoever asks for it.
