"In the middle of the night, police broke down the doors of a communal home in Peru. They snatched away the transgender women living inside, along with UT alumna Danielle Villasana, who documented it all.

After graduating in 2013, Villasana headed to Peru, looking for the excitement of a new project. Since then, she's focused her time on creating photo stories that revolve around the everyday lives of Lima's transgender women. Her series,  "A Light Inside," details their hardships and works to give a voice to one of Peru's most invisible groups."
