Bamby is the founder of the Los Angeles based TransLatin@ Coalition which “is an organization formed by Trans Latin@ immigrant leaders who came together in 2009 to organize and advocate for the needs of Trans Latin@s who are immigrants residing in the US.”
Bamby Salcedo was recognized as one of the “14 Women of Color Who Rocked 2014” by ColorLines. In 2014, her documentary “Transvisible: Bamby Salcedo’s Story” was released. That same year Bamby was honored at Lambda Legal’s West Coast Liberty Awards for her work in Angels of Change, an organization that provides health care services for Trans youth.
In 2016 Bamby spoke at the White House as part of the White House United States of Women Summit.
Bamby’s work continues to be recognized and awarded locally and nationally.
