Self-Determination Coordinator

Amy Garcia

she/her

Amy is a proud mother of five and a fierce advocate for self-determination, healing, and justice. Her life and work are rooted in the belief that every woman, young person, and trans female deserves the chance to live free, supported, and respected. Drawing strength from her own experiences, Amy has become a voice for those who are often unheard—especially young women and gender-expansive youth navigating systems that were never built for them.

As part of the Young Women’s Freedom Center community, Amy stands for transformation and collective power. She uses her story to inspire others to break cycles of struggle and to reclaim their voices, their families, and their futures. Guided by love for her children and her deep commitment to uplifting others, Amy works every day to create safe spaces where young people and trans women can grow, heal, and lead. Her journey is a powerful reminder that freedom begins with self-determination—and that when one woman rises, we all rise together.
