Ep 3: Growing up Transgender and Black in the 1960s: Dr. Enoch Page
What was it like growing up transgender and black in the 1960s? How did colonialism determine the lived experience of being black in the 1960s? And what's it like to be transgender in a world that has no concept of gender fluidity? These are some of the questions I explore here with Dr. Page.

I had the honor of working with Dr. Page as a health coach and I found his story amazing. Here for the first time he shares some of those experiences with the wider world.
