    Despite increasing visibility, there remains a profound lack of understanding about the transgender experience in our society. Too often, trans individuals face discrimination, violence, and appalling prejudices rooted in ignorance about what it means to be transgender.







    In this episode, Celia Sandhya Daniels courageously takes us through her journey from struggling with gender dysphoria as a child without the language to understand it, to her evolution in embracing her authentic identity as a trans woman.







    Her story lays bare the confusion, isolation, and pain that can come from having one's inner sense of self conflict with societally-imposed gender roles and expectations. Celia's narrative highlights critical issues like:









    * The importance of education and having proper terminology to articulate one's truth







    * The vulnerabilities and risks trans people face, even in LGBTQ+ spaces







    * The challenges of coming out and navigating relationships through transition







    * Overcoming trauma to live visibly and use your voice for change









    As a recognized LGBTQ+ leader and advocate, Celia doesn't just share her experiences - she provides invaluable insights into how to be a better ally through empathy, unlearning biases, and active support of the trans community. The importance of education and taking the time to learn and use the correct pronouns and terminology cannot be overstated. By making this effort, we validate trans individuals and see them as they want to be seen - not through our own limited lens or preconceived notions. Using proper pronouns lets trans people know their identity is recognized, accepted and respected, rather than erased or undermined. It's about seeing them for who they truly are.

    We're thrilled to host interculturalist Pratha Shetty, who guides us through the fascinating world of cross-cultural understanding. We learn about Pratha's early fascination with why people from diverse cultures think and act differently. This curiosity sparked a career unveiling complex cultural concepts through educational tools, speaking, and writing. A highlight is the colorful children's book Pratha created called "When I Grow Up," which teaches cultural empathy through storytelling.







    Pratha enlightens us on going beyond superficial stereotypes to grasp the nuanced essence of varied cultures. This episode encourages listeners to reflect on their cultural curiosity, embrace the beauty of differences, and engage in the transformative process of building bridges across diverse backgrounds. You'll never see culture the same way.
