Sarah Karlan for BuzzFeed News

Having grown up in San Francisco, Limos recently decided to quit her stable full-time job to start an organization that would allow her to give back to the community that has given her so much.

"There are so many communities in need," Limos told BuzzFeed News. "But starting with LGBT youth was important to me because I wanted to start with my own identity. When I was younger, with longer hair, it was uncomfortable to go into a barber shop that had so many men — but If I went into a salon, nobody could give me the look I was going for. I wanted to give back to queer youth and provide that safe space."
