A Taste of Home For Black Trans Men

<p><strong>The ONLY podcast By, For &amp; About Black Trans men premieres April 6th</strong>. <strong>Unbothered, Unmasked and Unafraid</strong>. We aren’t making space, we are making a home. So, until the premiere, we are giving you a sample, a taste if you will, of all that's to come and why this podcast, this home is so incredibly important. This podcast is <strong>the FIRST of its kind</strong>. Why? Because <strong>nothing will change unless we stand up, say we are here and demand to be heard</strong>. To build community, we need a space for ourselves. To tell our stories right, we need to do that ourselves.&nbsp;</p> <p>This podcast was named after the host’s (Lynx <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blerdsenpai/">@blerdsenpai</a>) favorite poem <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44203/we-wear-the-mask">“We Wear The Mask”</a> by #paullaurencedunbar &nbsp;This mask/masc we wear is not new. It is not inherently good or bad. <strong>What the mask/masc means depends on who you are underneath it all</strong>. "Why should the world be over-wise, I’m counting all our tears and sighs? Nay let them only see us, while We wear the mask.” - Paul Laurence Dunbar&nbsp;</p> <p>Come get a taste of home and don't forget to come back for <strong>the full meal starting Monday April 6th! The topic of the first episode is “The REAL HRTs: Transitioning to (H)ealthy (R)elationship (T)o (s)elf”</strong> this is <strong>not your typical “Transitioning A-Z”</strong> bc there is no 👊🏽 one 👊🏽 way 👊🏽 to 👊🏽 transition. It’s so much more than the physical. With <strong>our first featured guest, Sebastian J. Flowers </strong>(@belizeanvegan)! He is an author, model, actor and so much more!&nbsp;</p> <p>Tune in, Subscribe! and Follow Us <a href="linktr.ee/wewrethemasc">@wewrethemasc</a> on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to hear more!&nbsp;</p> <p>Are you a Black Trans Man?
