Introducing “Ask Lia”: Advice from Qwear’s Trans Youth Advocate

Got a question about gender, fashion, activism—or just life in general?

Lia is Qwear’s Trans Youth Advocate, a modeling and design aficionado, and a longtime activist who’s been working with the Qwear team since she was just 7 years old. Whether she’s speaking at rallies, slaying runways, or just chillin in a hoodie and jeans (her fave look), Lia has been taking the trans fashion game by storm.

Now 16, Lia wants to hear from you.

💬 Not sure how to express yourself?
💄Want tips on how to experiment with makeup, style, or identity?
🧠 Curious about how to speak up for your rights?
😴 Or just wanna know how she balances naps with changing the world?

Write in to Ask Lia—no question is too big or too small. She’s here to share wisdom, spill truth, and hype you up like only a trans teen legend can.
