Who is Julisa Abad?

Some of you may have read a few posts about her on the site these past couple months. But who is she really? Here's the scoop...

Julisa Abad is a 27 year old Puerto Rican and Dominican man, who a few years ago transitioned into a woman. She has always believed, even at a young age that she was trapped in the wrong body. Born in Boston, and raised in Tampa, Fl, Julisa has been the talk of the town (internet) in recent months. I reached out to Julisa for an interview and she accepted. Check it out below:

StunnaFizz: What do you want the world to know about you?

Julisa Abad:

I just want to bring awareness to the world of what its like being transgendered and what we go through on a regular basis; which so many people take for granted for example, just going to the grocery store, or trying to live like everyone else, and pursue my dreams. I struggle with being judged, mocked, ridiculed, gawked and stared at. Before all of this, finding employment was so much harder.

SF: How do you plan to raise awareness on these issues?

JA:

I'm writing a book. The book is about my life and my struggles. About what I've been through and what I'm accomplishing. And of course I will touch on the whole Jojo situation, so people are aware of how it actually went down.

SF: What's people's biggest misconception about you?

JA:

You can't help what people say or write about you and how you will be judged, but I will say without throwing darts at anyone, anything and I mean ANYTHING I've said has been the truth ....I haven't retracted anything I said or issued an apology. Innocent people don't say sorry, if anything I'd think people would be grateful that they were mentioned as much as I was in 2011.

SF: What's next for Julisa? What are your upcoming projects?

JA:

I have a magazine cover coming out March 2012 for "The Lyfe Magazine", which I hope everyone goes out and gets.

I wear Mary Kay in many of my photoshoots. I'm working with Mary Kay so that my supporters, Team Abad, can make any purchase over $50.00, and they will receive a 'Team Abad' shirt. I have a website that they can visit www.julisaabad.com as well as www.teamabad.com which is a social networking place for the GLBT youth to discuss whatever they feel. I'm hosting parties as well as club appearances and can be reached at bookjulisaabad@yahoo.com. Also look me up on twitter @Julisa_abad and continue to follow I have alot of surprises coming up!

LOVE STUNNA
