Truly hope you enjoy and are inspired by this week’s episode with Nala Simone.
In this chapter, Nala takes us back to the transformational year of 2014, and shares her journey of finding the language to describe herself, meeting someone who looked how she felt, and her experiences with anti-Blackness in the fashion industry. Nala talks about her complex history with her parents, and how her grandmother equipped her to love her way through life. She discusses the power of evaluating her yes, and related, we dish a couple of times about her experience as a guest on The Breakfast Club, and how her life was affected afterward. Nala says it takes audacity to step out and explore the world, and speaks to what it’s like traveling as a person of trans experience. Her adventures led her to use travel to create more space, and support for queer people in their journeys of growing and healing.
