Miel said that the announcement means she is now comfortable enough in who she is.
“I’m endlessly thankful to my close friends and family who have supported me and shown me love as I’ve grown and explored my own gender and sexual identity,” she added.
Miel said that she is thankful because she has the privilege of celebrating her identity but admits that not all have the same opportunity like her.
