Breanna Sinclaire grew up struggling with her gender identity. She was bullied in school and her family did not support her transition. She had to sing as a tenor in her school choirs up until the end of her college career even though she wanted to sing as a soprano. When she graduated from high school, Breanna went to the California Institute of the Arts to study voice. Although Breanna had to face many obstacles, she didn’t let homelessness, harassment, or negativity get in the way of earning her degree. Breanna is an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and uses her platform to uplift others.
