Marisol died by suicide. She was in her final semester studying History Education at Kennesaw State University and was the president of the Kennesaw Pride Alliance.
Marisol Payero, the President of the Kennesaw Pride Alliance, died Oct. 27.
The 22-year-old was a senior at Kennesaw State University studying History Education. She helped lead the opening of the KPA Pride Center after the university shuttered the LGBTQ+ resource center due to DEI cutbacks earlier this year.
Payero was of Dominican and Argentinian descent and a practicing Celtic Druid. Her friends and family remember her as having a bright smile and a natural gift for humor, a lover of Argentina and the color blue, and interested in dying languages and the recreation of the Taíno language.
Payero, who was transgender, died by suicide.
In August the Pride Center posted a video in which Marisol gave a tour of their space:
