Kalen Allen to Serve as Grand Marshal for Walk4Humanity 2025
Los Angeles, CA (June 23, 2025) – The TransLatin@ Coalition is proud to announce that celebrated media personality, actor, and advocate Kalen Allen will serve as Grand Marshal and Host for the upcoming Walk4Humanity on August 24, 2025, in Los Angeles.
Best known for his meteoric rise on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and his fearless voice in media and entertainment, Kalen Allen continues to use his platform to uplift, educate, and inspire. Fresh off his Broadway debut in 2024, and having just earned his Master’s in Journalism from NYU this May, Kalen is a modern-day Renaissance voice—unapologetically bold, brilliantly insightful, and deeply compassionate.
Walk4Humanity is a 2-mile walk and celebration dedicated to fostering solidarity, raising awareness, and funding essential services for Two Spirit, Trans, Gender Expansive, and Intersex (2TGI) individuals. The event begins at Sunset Junction in Silver Lake and ends in Hollywood with live performances and a community celebration.

“We are thrilled to welcome Kalen Allen as our Grand Marshal,” says Bamby Salcedo, President and CEO of the TransLatin@ Coalition. “Kalen is a radiant force — someone who uses his talent, voice, and influence with care and responsibility. He educates with compassion, entertains with authenticity, and advocates with heart. Having him lend his voice and presence to Walk4Humanity is a full-circle moment of love, alignment, and joy. He truly embodies what it means to walk hand in hand — human to human — for something greater than ourselves.”
Kalen will lead the procession, serve as the on-site host, and bring his signature energy and presence to this historic gathering of love, justice, and community.
“I’ve always fought for those who’ve been othered — because I know what it feels like to be one of them,” says Kalen Allen. “Love is not just a feeling — it’s an action. And what greater action than walking hand in hand, human to human, for love, for equity, for truth? I’m honored to serve as Grand Marshal and walk alongside my community in a moment of joyful resistance and celebration. We are walking 4 humanity. We are walking 4 love.”
Join us as we walk, celebrate, and make history.
