Pedro Peira's film LA QUEENCIAÑERA portrays Bamby Salcedo's life and foretells her
future. A celebration of Salcedo's 50th birthday serves as the focus of Peira's account
of her life, tracing her childhood in Guadalajara, Mexico, to her founding of the
TransLatin@ Coalition. Although Salcedo faced addiction, homelessness, imprisonment,
and detention throughout her life, she never lost sight of her goals. Her iconic phrase,
"never give up," not only inspires future generations to take part in activism, but
also places her at the forefront of history. In this heartfelt tribute, Salcedo's
legacy and contribution to the LGBTQ+ community are honored.
