Self-affirmation has become a buzzword in this day and age, but its power isn’t debatable. When you are consistently affirming yourself, words from others won’t affect you as much. We talk about that in this episode of Dem Bois Podcast. Today I sit down with Monroe, a model, author, and influencer, and we discuss challenges of name changes, gender expression, and the evolving landscape of social media. Monroe also shares his journey of self-discovery, including his transition, the importance of self-care, and the significance of visibility in the trans community. 

We talk:

05:07 The importance of self-care during transition

15:13 Understanding gender expression 

24:38 The power of digital reach

31:36 Mental health and social media

42:16 Creating for the community
