NaomiHeartsxo: Embracing Authenticity and Empowering Others

Known as @naomiheartsxo on TikTok, this LA-based lifestyle creator shares relatable comedic videos. Naomi, a proud trans Latina woman, spreads her love for plus-size fashion and makeup to her loyal followers in both English and Spanish. Her goal is to inspire her community to embrace their true selves.

Being part of the LGBTQ+ community means empowerment to me. It is powerful to live a life that defies societal norms and fully embrace one's identity.

The TikTok community has inspired me to always stay true to myself. I have learned that success does not require pretending to be someone else.

One of my favorite videos I have created features my husband. Being a trans woman who is happily married and living her best life brings me immense joy, especially in a world where trans people are often told they will never find love.

Apart from TikTok, I am passionate about movies and fashion. However, my greatest passion lies in helping people find confidence. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with unrealistic beauty standards, it is crucial to realize that true beauty comes from within.

My username, @naomiheartsxo, has been with me since high school. Naomi is the name I chose when I transitioned, and it holds deep meaning for me. The word "hearts" sounded beautiful alongside it, giving me a sense of vitality. I added "xo" as a natural addition to the username, replacing the underscore and symbolizing hugs and kisses.

The best advice I have ever received is to live life for myself. While others may have expectations, it is important to prioritize authenticity. I experienced the struggle of hiding my true self after initially coming out in high school and then retreating back into the closet when I entered the working world. This caused me significant depression, reinforcing the importance of living authentically.
