About the model:
Dan Maldonado is an organizer, activist, and artist who identifies as a queer, genderqueer, disabled, Latinx femme. They have been actively organizing around many intersectional issues such as marriage equality, reproductive justice, trans rights, and body positivity since 2011. Their work includes serving as an intern and lead volunteer with the LGBT political research organization Leadership LAB. They are a core collective member and logistics coordinator for the eating disorder and body positivity organization Trans Folx Fighting Eating Disorders. They are also a member of the planning committee for the LGBTQ bimonthly open mic night called OUTspoken Sessions. They hope that their work will help other complexly identified non-binary people by providing visibility where little currently exists. Dan hopes to continue their education soon through Cal State Northridge's masters program in College Counseling which they plan to employ in a future career working to bridge the educational gap for disabled students, students of color, and LGBTQIA students. Dan's hobbies include creating sketches, watching movies, writing poetry, playing board and card games with loved ones, and going to Disneyland.

Nalgona Positivity Pride (NPP) is a xicana-indigenous body-positive organization that provides intersectional eating disorders education and community-based support for people of color who are struggling with troubled eating and poor body-image. After not seeing her own experiences reflected and the lack of cultural awareness in the eating disorder world, Gloria Lucas started NPP in 2014 out of an urgent need to create a platform for communities of color and indigenous-descent communities who struggle alone. Gloria first-hand experienced the isolation that comes with being a person of color with an eating disorder and the absence of services for low-income people.
NPP’s line of work focuses on uncovering the impacts of colonialism, social oppression, historical trauma and its role in impairing relationships indigenous-descent people have with food and body-image. NPP’s goal is to help people of color and indigenous descent folks find education and resources for self-empowering, resistance, and healing.
In addition NPP has:
- been featured in MiTu, NPR, Bitch Magazine, Remezcla, Huffington Post, Cosmopolitan, Latina, and Bustle.
spoken in multiple national conferences including The Binge Eating Disorder Association Conference, National Eating Disorders Association, & The Fat Activism Conference
- lectured internationally and has spoken at The University of California, Santa Cruz, The University of Texas at San Antonio, School of Social Work University of Michigan, and the University of California, Los Angeles
over 70k social media followers
- collaborated with The Body is Not An Apology, Association for Size Diversity and Health (ASDAH), National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA,) and Trans-Folx Fighting Eating Disorders (T-Ffed).
Finally, NPP lectures, hosts events, hosts support groups, and creates social media content as a way to reach out to and empowers the individuals whose bodies are systematically at the margins of white/ mainstream ‘body positivity’ movements
