Dem Bois Podcast: Episode 79

Reflecting on My Experience on the Dem Bois Podcast


"The power of allowing people to explore what feels good to them... that should be explored more often, not just for trans youth, but for people in general."


I recently had the honor of being a guest on the Dem Bois Podcast, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of trans men of color. This opportunity allowed me to share my personal journey and engage in meaningful discussions on topics that deeply resonate with our community.

Episode 79: What does Joy Look like for you?

A Platform for Authentic Narratives

The Dem Bois Podcast, founded by Shawn Aaron in 2016, serves as a vital space for trans men of color to share their stories and experiences. The podcast covers a wide range of subjects, including transition journeys, mental health, dating, fitness, and family dynamics. By providing this platform, Dem Bois Inc. aims to raise awareness and foster understanding of the unique challenges and triumphs within our community.


Engaging in Meaningful Dialogue

During my episode, we delved into several key areas:

  • Personal Transition Journey: I recounted the milestones and challenges of my transition, highlighting the support systems and resources that were instrumental along the way.

  • Mental Health: We discussed the importance of mental health within the trans community, emphasizing the need for accessible and culturally competent support services.

  • Community and Representation: The conversation underscored the significance of visibility and representation for trans men of color, and how platforms like Dem Bois Podcast contribute to this mission.


Continuing the Conversation

Participating in the Dem Bois Podcast was a profoundly enriching experience. It reinforced the power of storytelling and the impact of shared experiences in building community and fostering resilience. I encourage everyone to listen to the podcast and support its mission to amplify trans men of color voices.
