CARACAS -- Venezuela is making history with the very first transgender who has applied to be a member of the Supreme Court.

Her name is Tamara Adrian, and she exemplifies what it means to be a human being, for several reasons.

I wanted to let Tamara tell her story in her own words, and let the world know what it's like to be in her shoes with her expectations, dreams and perspectives when it comes to intolerance found in Venezuela and the prospect of being a part of this country's history.
