Gabriel Talledo's Scholarship

Nobody deserves to be unhappy because of their identity. 

In loving memory of Gabriel Talledo (1999 – 2022), a Peruvian medical student, LGTBQIA+ rights advocate, ID, and Derm enthusiast, and a kind and brave human being.  

 

 

You can listen to his story, narrated by him, here. 

And his favourite song Lucky, by Britney Spears, here.
