Trinidad is currently inking and coloring pages for her forthcoming graphic novel Of Sea and Venom (2029) which will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux Books for Young Readers. Of Sea and Venom is a folk fantasy inspired by ancestral worship, animism, and tantra. It is set in both pre-colonial Southeast Asia and the future Bay Area, California. Two of her other Queer books will be published by Gantala Press in the Philippines.

Trinidad is a poet-seer and nekkhamma, or renunciant. She lives a quiet life with her family Sangha who practice folk Tantra and follow the teachings of Early Buddhism. As part of her practice, she facilitates mutual aid for artists in the global south and teaches contemplative art to young, neurodivergent and disabled, working-class and poor artists.
