Christy Henderson Jenkins is a California-based author, actress, singer, and social justice activist. She survived a childhood kidnapping and sexual abuse, life on the streets as a teenager, arrest at Stonewall and incarceration afterward, gender conversion electroshock therapy at Bellevue Hospital, and an encounter with a serial killer who targeted Black women in South Central LA.

She’s now sharing her messages of faith, love, resilience, and the importance of unity in the queer community.
