Sitraka St. Michael: Turning Shame into Empowerment
When the idea of this podcast first popped into my head, I instantly knew I wanted to interview Sitraka. We had only met once, over lunch with friends, 7 years ago. But his wisdom and compassion radiate from deep inside and had a long-lasting impact on me.
In this interview, Sitraka tracks his path from an advertisement in an Madagascan newspaper to Canada, France, and the USA.
Highlights include:
- growing up as a single parent child in Madagascar
- how Paris contributed to finding self-acceptance
- breathing easier in Boston an the small challenges that prevail
- finding a new spiritual home in the Episcopal Church after coming out
In short, Sitraka is a professional at turning shame into empowerment.
