Hola Karyna, quizas nunca leas mi comentario. Soy una mujer que ha vivido muchos años en crisis existentiales, y conocerte me ha conmovido hasta las lagrimas. Como ser humano me siento muy orgullosa de ti, como mexicana y latina, y si fueras mi hermana, prima, amiga, me sentiría igualmente orgullosa de ti!!

No necesitas la valoracion externa, porque ya has descubierto el tesoro dentro de ti...🤍

Gracias por tu valor, coraje y por iluminar el camino de much@s que vienen detras de ti....

Un abrazo con admiracion y respeto, desde Colima, Mexico! ✨️🤍🙌

Karinya- such a great message to the world! We all just get the one life, & we each have the right to be who we are. Who is to deny us this? ….. hurting no one, to deny it is nonsense 👏👏👏👏👏💗🇦🇺

I wish young people had the strength you have. The media world says so much about what people should do but it's an evolution from within that speaks most profoundly. You're an inspiration and your determination demands respect. I applaud you.

Karyna is absolutely beautiful. I am so happy she was able to have her quinceanera & that she has a circle of support around her.
