Isis knew that she was born in the wrong body when she was just four. She realized that her feelings and physical body didn’t match.
Struggling between her internal and external structures, she came out as gay in her high school.
But soon, she realized that it was not what she wanted and came to New York for a transition. There, she began hormone replacement therapy in 2007 as a part of a transition process.
She was not able to earn enough to afford to live in New York so she went to The Ali Forney Center, a shelter for homeless youths since she couldn’t go home as her family was against her decision to transition.
There, she lived in the Transitional Housing Program and got a chance to participate in America’s Next Top Model in 2008. She came in 10th place on cycle 11, and her carer started from there.
