Trans Voices from Around the Country

Despite political attacks and threats to our safety, trans people are still living full, complex and beautiful lives in the United States.

In this special episode, Imara introduces TransLash Wire, our new written platform dedicated to original journalism centering trans perspectives from corners of the country that are often overlooked. To celebrate the launch of this new initiative, Imara has a meaningful conversation with Morgan Peterson, a youth support worker in Sioux Falls, who shares how trans kids are surviving and thriving in South Dakota. Then, our host sits down with Wilson and Miss B Haven for a colorful and moving conversation about what life is like for this T4T couple in Durham, North Carolina.
