There were many moments in my transition journey that I didn’t plan but worked out in my favor. For example, transitioning at work wasn’t easy, but there was a sense of ease and a level of comfort. Before me, the company had never experienced someone transitioning, so I got the chance to educate them and feel empowered in the process. But, there were moments when I felt very uncomfortable and traumatized, and in this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I talk about both the good and bad. I answer a question from Michael in Jacksonville, Fl: how did you transition at work?Remember, if you’d like to ask me or a future guest a question, email it to hello@dembois.org.I share:How I planned my surgery around my work schedule - 3:18Reaching out to HR at my job - 8:53How the management team and my co-workers reacted - 10:54Experiences that made me feel empowered at work - 13:55Experiences that made me uncomfortable at work - 17:11Why you should protect and advocate for yourself - 26:01Click here for the transcript!Are you enjoying the Dem Bois Podcast?
