In this episode, Juniper Cassaway shares their journey with depression, strained family relationships, religious trauma, therapy & stigma in the Black community, and working toward overcoming and healing from other people’s perception of them vs who they know themselves to be. While it isn’t an easy journey moving through a world that’s determined to misunderstand, Juniper wants anyone coming out as queer/trans to know that the freedom that comes on the other side of continuing through, despite those who say otherwise, is unmatched.
