This is a Confusing Life

Mercedez was a “Trilogy” passing through this world. Born Roger Clifton Mears IV in 1980, transitioning to Spencer Love, as an eighteen year old gay male, performing in drag, until embracing Mercedez Love, the girl and the woman she was meant to be. In the sixth grade she desperately tried to fit pieces of a puzzle together to understand why she was so different. She wrote her first memoir, journal bound by a clasp titled, “This is a Confusing Life”. This Memoir honors her as one who never made a choice to be the person she was. Her life was difficult and yet her spirit, laughter and most of all LOVE touched so many as she struggled to survive. “ My story won’t ever have a chance to be told. I’ve lived it, but, people wouldn’t believe what I’ve been through in my life.” -- Mercedez Love
