About the Founder/CEO
I was born in Clarksdale Mississippi in 1979 as Larry DeWayne Hoy, but I transitioned to my true self decades later. I have two kids and also, I'm a member of the LGBTQ+ community advisory board in Queens New York. I'm the Founder/CEO of the Stand and Walk with Me movement. Plus, I'm an accomplished author, motivational speaker, and a social media influencer on Facebook, Tik Tok, and YouTube. I'm known all around the world as Queen Larrika.
I'm a victim of family incest and child abuse which was a very horrific part of my life. I knew that as a child before I was sexually assaulted that I was a girl. Through life journey I was living in a male body, and it didn't feel comfortable to me looking like a boy and doing boy things. I overcame so many obstacles in my life to finally to be free in my true identity. I confessed my secrets on Facebook and told the world that I been molested and I was transgender, in which I transitioned before the world's eyes, and it was all uphill from there..
