✨ Celebrating Autism Awareness & Acceptance Day with Pride! 🏳️‍🌈💙

Let’s continue to foster a world that embraces inclusion, acceptance, and love—where autistic and LGBTQ+ individuals can thrive as their authentic selves. Today and every day, we uplift voices, break down barriers, and spread the message that different minds, like different identities, are valuable and worthy of respect.

Today, we celebrate Toni Ramírez (she/ella)!

“ Toni Ramírez (she/ella) is a Tejana, desert person, fronteriza, organizer, and queer family physician who practices medicine with community at the forefront. She grew up in Socorro, completed her undergraduate and medical school training at Brown University and was trained in full spectrum family care at Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency in Northern California. Dr. Ramírez is dedicated to gender affirming care and reproductive justice care. Acknowledging the restrictions of a transactional, for-profit and colonized medical industry, she strives to challenge the way we practice medicine and move beyond the four walls of a clinical room. She currently practices at Project Vida Health Center and is grateful to being back home in El Paso where she loves being a tía and reconnecting with community alongside her wife and dog, Emilio.
To Toni, being a part of the LGBTQIA community shapes the way she engages in the world. Identifying as queer allowed for a sense of freedom from any boundary, framework, or ideology that defined any way to live, love, think, or express themselves. It brings her great joy to be a part of a community that shines in not only authenticity but rooted in our indigenous histories of love and community. !”

This Women’s History Month, Mountain Star Pride is recognizing the incredible women who have made a lasting impact on the LGBTQIA+ community. Through their advocacy, leadership, and resilience, they have helped pave the way for equality, visibility, and acceptance. Today, we celebrate, Nikki Vicario!

"As a transgender woman and leader in Inclusive Diversity & Equity (IDE), my work is deeply rooted in the belief that all women—cisgender, transgender, and non-binary individuals who align with womanhood—deserve to be seen, valued, and empowered. In my new role at a Fortune 100 company, I focus on driving cultural transformation by embedding inclusion into business strategies, amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities, and ensuring that every woman, regardless of identity or background, has fair access to opportunity.

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the resilience, brilliance, and achievements of women across the world. It’s also a reminder that the fight for gender fairness must be intersectional. As a transgender woman, I have faced unique challenges in professional spaces—being underestimated, misgendered, or seen through the lens of my transition rather than my skills and leadership. Those experiences have only strengthened my commitment to breaking barriers and creating workplaces where all women, including transgender and non-binary women, are recognized for their talents and contributions rather than their differences.

The LGBTQIA2S+ community, particularly the women within it, has been a source of strength, advocacy, and progress. Our histories are filled with trailblazers who have fought for justice and inclusion, paving the way for those of us who now have a seat at the table. My mission is to ensure that table continues to grow—so that every woman, no matter how she identifies, has the space to lead, thrive, and inspire the next generation.

This International Women’s Day, I celebrate the power of all women. The power to lead. The power to innovate. The power to create a more inclusive and just world for those who follow in our footsteps." #WomensHistoryMonth #LGBTQIA #MountainStarPride #HonoringOurHeroes

Today, we celebrate Dr. Jhoana Quezada!

“ Jhoana earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at El Paso in 2010 and completed her Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2019. She is certified in Family Medicine by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and proudly holds El Paso’s only nurse practitioner board certification as an HIV Specialist from the American Academy of HIV Medicine.
Jhoana plays a vital role in serving El Paso’s diverse population. Her commitment to healthcare includes managing STIs, Hepatitis C, and HIV, as well as addressing complex hospital infections. She is enthusiastic about meeting the unique healthcare needs of the Southwest region and improving health outcomes for our community.

We often wonder how we can leave a mark on this world, but I've come to realize how much this world has changed me. Working within and for the LGBTQIA2S+ community has taught me love, resilience, and the ability to see the world through a lens that challenges our usual perspectives. It has been both a privilege and a source of pride to serve in a way that truly makes a difference for every patient I encounter, both in and out of the clinic.
Beyond the medicine, I'm deeply moved by the daily conversations and interactions with my patients. These moments teach me and allow me to understand the value of every smile and the significance of every tear. I hope to bring a glimmer of hope, comfort, and the assurance that, no matter what, you’ll always have an ally in me!”

Today, we celebrate Andi Rose Tiscareño-Zamora (She/Her)!

“I am an out and proud transgender latina from El Paso, Texas. I have been an activist for human rights ranging from LGBTQIA+ rights, Women’s rights, immigration rights, and so much more. I love serving the LGBTQIA2s+ and El Paso community in any capacity I can, and I continue to learn how to do better in those capacities each day. I also love to play video games and binge watch anime with my husband, whom I share 3 pugs with.
The LGBTQIA2s+ community is everything to me, because I was able to find my true self and gain the strength to transition to become her. I’ve found so many friends and chosen family within my community. And by my community, I mean the community as a WHOLE. And that includes every letter in LGBTQIA2s+, even those that feel they shouldn't need to label themselves. Because we can’t all exist if we exclude anyone!”

Today, we celebrate Yari!

“El Paso, TX!!! It’s your girl Yadira Soriano better known as DJ Yari!!! I started off my crazy journey into the nightlife as a bartender and passionately transitioned over into becoming one of the first women to DJ. Over my 12 yrs of being a DJ, I’ve held many residencies in the LGBTQIA2a+ community. Briar Patch paved my ground which gave me the opportunity to work at Touch Bar, Epic Bar and my new residency Cock-Tales. I love working in the LGBTQIA2a+ community because everyone and anyone is welcomed with love and joy. I always find my DJ booth a safe place where someone will come and visit me for the first time timid and shy or get the wild and rowdy ones who always come for the fun!! That truly is what keeps my passion and drive going. LGBTQIA2a+ community has also helped pave my way into other opportunities. I love my LGBTQIA2a+ community… I love El Paso!!”

To our LGBTQIA+ community, this day isn’t just about traditional romance—it’s about celebrating the love that makes us shine. So buy yourself flowers, write a love letter to YOU, or share joy with those who uplift you.

No matter your relationship status, your love is powerful, valid, and deserving of celebration. Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕🏳️‍🌈✨

Honoring Black History Month: The Power of Representation

Black History Month is a time to reflect, honor, and celebrate the contributions of Black leaders, activists, and changemakers who have shaped history. Representation matters now more than ever—especially for Black LGBTQ+ individuals whose voices have often been silenced.

Here at Mountain Star Pride, we recognize that true equality means amplifying Black LGBTQ+ stories, uplifting intersectional voices, and advocating for a future where everyone can live authentically and proudly. Visibility isn’t just empowering—it’s essential.

This month, we celebrate Black excellence, resilience, and joy while reaffirming our commitment to justice and inclusion for all. Let’s continue to break barriers, build community, and make history together!

The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed on 27 January, stands as a profound tribute to the resilience and memory of those lost in the Holocaust—a tragic event that claimed the lives of one third of the Jewish people and countless members of other minorities. This day inspires us to reflect on our shared history and reinforces our commitment to combating hatred and promoting understanding among all communities.

Always remember that you are deeply loved and truly important. Don’t let anyone dim your light to make themselves feel brighter. Keep shining brilliantly and let your true colors show. You are amazing just as you are.

We recognize that these times can feel incredibly uncertain, and it's completely natural to feel scared and overwhelmed. Please remember that you are not alone; there are people who genuinely care and want to help. If you find yourself feeling confused or down, don’t hesitate to reach out for support. You can talk to @namielpaso, @trevorproject, @afspnational, @988lifeline, or @borderlandrainbowcenter. They have valuable resources and are here for you. You deserve support during this challenging time.

💔 Gone too soon, but never forgotten. 💔

I can’t believe we have to say goodbye to the incredible Nadine Wolf. You were so much more than a friend—you were a fierce advocate, a passionate ally to our community, and a light in so many lives.

Your kindness, strength, and unwavering love inspired everyone around you. As an amazing mother and an inspirational friend, you showed us what it means to live with purpose and compassion.

Rest in peace, beautiful soul. Your legacy will live on in all of us who were lucky enough to know you. You will be deeply missed but forever cherished. 🕊️💜

🎁🎄 ‘Tis the Season of Giving! 🌟🐾

Mountain Star Pride is thrilled to announce that we’re bringing back our Season of Giving! This year, we’re supporting TWO amazing causes:

✨ Opportunity Center for the Homeless – helping individuals and families find hope and stability. @opportunitycenter4thehomeless
🐾 Animal Rescue League of El Paso – providing second chances to our furry friends in need. @arlelpaso

Join us in spreading love, kindness, and joy to those who need it most—both people and pets! 💕

YOU can get involved, donate, or make an impact this holiday season. Together, we can make a difference!

🌟 Let’s give back and make this season unforgettable! Who’s with us? 🙌

Why The Opportunity Center for the Homeless:

Members of the LGBTQ community often face discrimination in many areas of their lives, but especially regarding housing status. LGBTQ individuals, especially youth, are highly overrepresented in the homeless population. In fact, LGBTQ youth are 120% more likely to be homeless. The center’s community closet provides items to those who need it no questions asked and food and shelter is available. Let’s help them continue to support!

Why ARL El Paso:

Animal Rescue League of El Paso is dedicated to saving the lives of stray, abandoned and orphaned companion animals. Proudly operating as a no-kill shelter, ARLEP works to provide care to animals while locating lifelong homes for them. In addition, ARLEP advocates for responsible pet ownership by providing education and resources to the community. They believe every pet deserves love and kindness and to live a full life. We do too!

💀✨ Día de los Muertos ✨💀

Today, we celebrate Día de los Muertos, a beautiful tradition to honor and remember the loved ones who have passed. 🌼🕯️

It’s a time to reflect on the lives of friends and family who are no longer with us, celebrating their spirits with joy, memories, and offerings. Through vibrant altars (ofrendas), sugar skulls, marigolds, and favorite foods, we invite them back to be with us, if only in spirit. 🌺

Let’s take a moment to remember those we miss, knowing they are never truly gone, but always in our hearts. 💖✨

✨ November is Native American Heritage Month ✨

This is a time to honor the rich traditions, cultures, and contributions of Native peoples, whose history and resilience continue to shape the landscape of the United States. 🌎

An important aspect of this heritage is the recognition of Two Spirit individuals, a term rooted in Indigenous cultures. Two Spirit is more than just a gender identity—it's a spiritual and societal role that predates colonial influence. Many Native tribes recognized people who embodied both masculine and feminine traits, often holding them in high regard for their unique perspectives and roles within the community. 🌿

During this month, let’s celebrate the diversity within Native cultures, including the sacred identity of Two Spirit people, and honor the wisdom, traditions, and ongoing strength of Indigenous communities. 💫

🌿 Today, on Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the rich history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous communities across the globe. 🌍

This day is a reminder to celebrate the resilience of Native peoples while reflecting on the need for truth, justice, and respect. It’s about reclaiming narratives, acknowledging past injustices, and uplifting Indigenous voices today.

📖 A vital part of Indigenous culture is the recognition of diverse identities, including Two-Spirit people. In many Indigenous traditions, Two-Spirit individuals hold sacred roles, embodying both masculine and feminine spirits. This term reflects the deep respect for gender diversity and fluidity in Indigenous worldviews, long before Western influence.

Let’s take today to celebrate, listen, and learn. ✊🏽 #IndigenousPeoplesDay #TwoSpirit #HonorIndigenousVoices #LoveIsLove #Pride #MountainStarPride #communityservice #lgbtqia #servingthecommunity #giveback #nonprofit #philanthropy #eptx #community #unityincommunity #support #local #instagood #family #elpaso #itsallgoodep #elpasotx #OUTFEST #915 #lovewins #texas #pride #whatsupelpaso #Gayelpaso #onestaronecommunity
