- 13:15Cristina, la regina non binaria | Cristina Prenestina | TEDxLeverano WomenStorie di persone che si trovano a sfidare i confini rigidi del genere imposti dalla società. Ispirata da Cristina di Svezia, che visse la sua vita senza conformarsi ai ruoli tradizionali di genere, Cristina porta avanti un percorso di lettura di fiabe che celebrano la diversità e l'autodeterminazione. Il suo lavoro mira a dare ai bambini e alle famiglie modelli alternativi che vanno oltre il binarismo di genere, aiutando i più giovani a sentirsi liberi di esprimere la loro unicità senza paura. Drag Queen e attivista, crede che i bambini abbiano il potere di cambiare il mondo. Ha introdotto in Italia "Drag Queen Story Hour", un progetto nato in America che educa i bambini alla diversità e l'inclusione tramite delle favole narrate da Drag Queens. Cristina “nasce” nel 2014 a Roma dove calca il palcoscenico con spettacoli di Varietà. Prende il nome dalla regina svedese del 1600: Cristina di Svezia, donna intellettuale e indipendente, rifiuta il matrimonio e lascia il trono per seguire la sua libertà. Il cognome Prenestina è dato dalla popolare via romana che le da i natali. Nel 2021 partecipa alla pubblicazione del libro illustrato “The Coloring Drag 2” scrivendone la prefazione. Nel 2023 pubblica con la Settenove edizioni "Nino il T-Rex" il suo primo albo illustrato.
