Ab Hernandez, a trans athlete, has made history by winning three medals at the CIF Championship despite facing intense scrutiny and adversity. Her mother released a statement expressing her pride and gratitude towards the LGBTQ+ community for their support.
Ab placed first in two events, high jump and triple jump, and second in the long jump. According to her mother, watching Ab rise above months of being targeted and misunderstood has left her in awe of her strength.
Ab’s mother is now establishing AB’s Safe Haven, an organization aimed at educating and raising awareness about LGBTQ+ issues in communities. The initiative was inspired by the support she received from the LGBTQ+ community.
Her mother emphasized that Ab’s journey serves as a reminder to young people, especially those who feel unseen or unheard, that authenticity, courage, and resilience shine brighter than hate.
