Carla Antonelli has long been at the forefront of the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, equality, and social justice. As Spain’s first transgender senator and a lifelong activist, she has shaped policies, challenged societal norms, and inspired a generation. Now, as the author of La Mujer Volcán (The Volcano Woman), she shares a deeply personal account of her journey, one of resilience, courage, and transformation, offering an unfiltered look at the struggles and triumphs of fighting for equality. In this exclusive fireside chat, we explore her remarkable story, the intersection of politics and personal narrative, and what it truly means to create lasting change.
