9: Dear Queer People: Trans Is Beautiful
Multi-media journalist, trans activist and writer for publications such as Allure, Teen Vogue, CNN, The Guardian and Playboy: Serena Jazmine Daniari is my special guest this week to discuss the portrayal of trans women in media and society at large. Serena is a successful journalist based in New York City who was recently the victim of a hate crime while riding the MTA subway. The incident went viral after she took to social media to raise awareness of her experience with the hope preventing similar attacks from ever happening again. Over the course of the episode, we break down the ways in which the trans community is perceived by society, the importance of gender identifying pronouns and Serena’s own experiences which led her to discovering her true self.
