Despite political attacks and threats to our safety, trans people are still living full, complex and beautiful lives in the United States.In this special episode, Imara introduces TransLash Wire, our new written platform dedicated to original journalism centering trans perspectives from corners of the country that are often overlooked. To celebrate the launch of this new initiative, Imara has a meaningful conversation with Morgan Peterson, a youth support worker in Sioux Falls, who shares how trans kids are surviving and thriving in South Dakota. Then, our host sits down with Wilson and Miss B Haven for a colorful and moving conversation about what life is like for this T4T couple in Durham, North Carolina. Read “Trans Voices in America” on TransLash Wire here: https://translash.org/wire/trans-voices-of-america/ Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on Instagram (@Imara_jones_), Threads (@imara_jones_), Bluesky (@imarajones.bsky.social), X (@ImaraJones)Follow our guests on social media: Lewis Raven Wallace: Instagram (@lewispants) Bluesky (‪@lewispants.bsky.social‬)South Dakota Transformation Project: Instagram (@sdtransformproj) TransLash Podcast is produced by TransLash Media.Translash Team: Imara Jones, Oliver-Ash Kleine, Aubrey Calaway. Lucy Little did the sound editing and engineering for this episode.Morgan Astbury is our Social Media Coordinator. Hillary Esquina is our Director of Digital Media and Social. Theme music composed by Ben Draghi.
