Black Trans Stories Matter: Eddie Takes Healing Into His Own Hands

The TMI Project Story Hour

The second episode of Season 5 of The TMI Project Podcast: Black Trans Stories Matter features Eddie Maisonet. Eddie is a storyteller, teaching artist, and performer based in NYC, born and raised in Boston, MA. He is a queer, trans, disabled, black boricua: identities that create rich material from which to craft stories based on experience. Eddie is also a dog enthusiast, enjoying everything from looking at canines to one day training them professionally. You can find him on Instagram @EddieMStoryteller or EddieMaisonet.net.

This episode was mixed/mastered by Stevie Manns (they/them) and produced in partnership with Radio Kingston. TMI Project’s Black Trans Stories Matter program was created by Cece Suazo (she/her).

Our next live performance of Black Trans Stories Matter will be in June, 2023. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to find out about the details and reserve your seat!
