"[2][3] In July 2022, Corado was accused of mismanagement of Casa Ruby, which forced the organization to cease operations.

[4] Corado migrated to America at the age of sixteen to escape the civil war in El Salvador.

In one incident, she was tormented in her school's bathroom by boys her age who followed and attacked her for being a “feminine boy.” At home, she was ostracized by her own family.

Due to setbacks because of her identity as a transgender woman – including homelessness, job firings, and physical violence – Corado did not begin transitioning until the 1990s, when she felt safe enough and had been living in what she had considered a well-rounded neighborhood.

[5] In 1995, the death of Tyra Hunter, a transgender woman who died of injuries sustained in a car accident after EMS personnel refused to treat her, motivated Corado to become involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy.

A few years later, once she made the transition from male to female, she won the Miss Gay El Salvador pageant, which came with the expectation of community service.

[10][11] Corado is a bilingual motivational speaker and sensitivity trainer who speaks about social justice issues pertaining to transgender people, gender-nonconforming individuals, and the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.

[12] Corado has spoken out against the Trump administration's consideration to define one's gender based on the genitalia that individual was born with.

[12] Casa Ruby provides services to marginalized groups who, due to language or immigration status, may not know what resources are available for them.

[12] In October 2021, Corado resigned from Casa Ruby following the loss of $850,000 in funding from the D.C. Department of Human Services.

[4] In July 2022, Casa Ruby closed with employees and creditors citing non-payment of wages and debts.

The Wanda Alston Foundation, a District organization serving homeless and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, was appointed by a court to act as a receiver for Casa Ruby; following an investigation, the foundation reported that Casa Ruby had more than $2 million in debts and “no meaningful assets,” and then filed a civil complaint alleging that Corado had funneled out more than $800,000.

In March 2023, the Washingtonian magazine located Corado in El Salvador and held three teleconferences over a four-hour period, during which she denied any wrongdoing and claimed that all financial transactions had been approved by Casa Ruby's board of directors, and that she had withdrawn the money to create a "self-sustaining" income that would make Casa Ruby less dependent on government funding.
