Curious about the black trans experience? We are joined by Ms. Myles to explore topics such as self-discovery, trans joy, gender affirming care, the intersection of race & gender, healing your inner child, & finding community. We recently connected with Ms. Myles through our upcoming short film, Turning Heads Vol. II, where she will be featured as one of our MUAs. During that process, we found her to be so well spoken and knew there was so much more of her story that needed to be shared. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. MS.

Is therapy-speak taking over our relationships? Licensed therapists are using social media to spread valuable knowledge, but therapy-speak can also create communication barriers when used out of context. We uncover how this language can be misused and weaponized, creating barriers to authentic connection. Plus, we discuss the danger of over-protecting boundaries to the point of loneliness and the vital role of community in building resilience. We hope our experiences and solutions will guide you in navigating therapy-speak in your daily conversations. Don't let jargon get in the way of your relationships. Enjoy!

We also discuss the process of having a baby that shares both of their DNA and how they've dealt with discrimination and stigma from others. Hope you enjoy!
