I’m so proud of this labor of love, and I feel privileged to be a part of the conversations I’ve had with transgender activists.
The podcast has 2 goals:
First, it's the answer to the question: How do I get started in advocacy and activism? People ask me that all the time. We will listen to stories. We will learn from people who have been there, and we will soak up their wisdom.
Second, this podcast amplifies trans voices. Most of my guests will be transgender to center their narratives, amplify their voices, and learn from their lived experiences. I could talk all day long about parenting trans kids and what to do to advocate for them, but I am not transgender. So we need to go to the source: the everyday voices behind the fight, the movement, and the work.
I believe in compensating people for their time and effort, so I pay each of my guests an honorarium, thanks to a generous donation from Pride Houston 365.
Also, in each episode, I encourage listeners to support the causes and projects that my guests are involved with or promoting.
And this is working already! I received a text this morning from a college friend in NYC; he was so moved by Jevon Martin talking about Elevated Access in episode 3 that he donated $50. This is exactly what I want to have happen!
If you’re interested in supporting the podcast itself to keep it going, I’ve got links to do that in the episode descriptions and show notes: you can make a donation or buy podcast merch.
Speaking of merch, to thank listeners for all of their support and enthusiasm, I’m hosting a giveaway!
