Top Takeaways From This Episode

  • Your voice deserves to be heard. You deserve to take up space!
  • You have the power to be a beacon of light for someone else.
  • It takes a lot of hard work and self-love to move through internalized homophobia. 
  • No two people experience gender the same! Gender presentation looks and feels different to everyone. 
  • You are still lovable – everyone is lovable. Find your people and hold them close.
  • Your experiences are what create you. Don’t deny your experiences, embrace them and use them for the greater good.
  • Everything happens at its perfect time.

Have you ever thought “If I do this, will I still be lovable?” 

Well, that question get’s even more complicated when the “this” is coming out as Gender Queer. This week's guest is a dear friend of our host, Heather Vickery.

Stevie Manns had a moment of clarity where they, finally, realized that they no longer had to accept what was unacceptable to them!

After years of living with “self-inflicted” internalized homophobia, Stevie is now living out loud in an old-school, male-dominated industry. After their own transition, Stevie became a fierce advocate for other Queer and Trans folks in the finance industry.
