Gabby Perez Winder
Gabby is a non-binary queer person of color. They were raised in Peru up until age 12, then immigrated to the U.S. with their mom and 2 younger sisters. They lived as an undocumented immigrant for almost 20 years, during which they mastered a lot of survival skills which have helped them also thrive in this country. Once having the privilege to be able to attend school, they chose a field where they could exercise their passion for social justice and advocacy. They are currently pursuing an MSW degree with a focus on macro level work as it aligns with their desire to build relationships with targeted communities and collaborate to uplift the work and joy each community brings. Besides their internship here with The UPRISE Collective, they work in the Early Childhood Field as a Home Visitor, where they've grown to learn more about different cultures and family systems/structures and the strengths each individual family brings. When they're not working/interning or attending school, they like to spend time with their family and try out new places to eat. They believe in the importance of food and its healing properties as well as a way to build connections to others in our community.
