Carolina Gutierrez: Trans Visibility, Resilience & Chasing Dreams
Today’s guest is Carolina Gutierrez—an award-winning Colombian actress, advocate, and proud Latina trans woman who is making waves both on screen and off. From her breakout roles to her most recent short Buscando Alma—which just qualified for the Oscars—Carolina’s work is as powerful as her presence. You’ve seen her in NCIS: LA, The L Word: Generation Q, and national commercials, but behind every role is a story of resilience, representation, and using her voice to uplift her community.
In this episode, we talk about her journey from Colombia to Hollywood, the evolution of trans visibility in media, and how she continues to lead with both heart and purpose. So get cozy, stay curious, and let’s get into it.
