Transition in a Time of Crisis
As the host of a podcast called Transition of Style, a queer-focused podcast that discusses the intersection between gender identity and personal style, I rely on connecting with my guests one-on-one, so that we can engage in an authentic, heartfelt exchange. My goal is to create a space where they feel comfortable and at ease, where they can share intimate details and sometimes very painful experiences, all while knowing they’ll be supported and not judged in any way.
