Gifts For You Ep. 2 Featuring Sadiya Sassine and Shaan Dasani

This week we bring you our 2nd episode of this series; a conversation with Sadiya Sassine and Shaan Dasani.

Here is the background on this project:

In the last few months leading up to my daughter’s birth, I began a podcast project.

I had a few intentions with this project. 

I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving.  And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her. 

In the end I interviewed over 20 people for this project.

I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019.  

Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner. 

As I’ve been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too.

That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a new edited edition of these interviews. 

The series is entitled: Gifts For You. 

It will span 13 episodes in total. 

I hope you enjoy.

Gifts for My Child Episode 5

Featuring: Sadiya Sassine, Cet Mohamed-Moore, Shaan Dasani, and Travis Ray

Here it is! Episode 5 of the ‘Gifts for My Child’ series. In case you’re just jumping in, be sure to listen to episodes 1 & 2 of this series to get the backstory. And, of course, you can always check out episodes 3-4 too. 

Honestly, these interviews really gave me an opportunity to connect with people I care about and have some real conversations with them.

Of course, if there is a question I asked a guest that you have an insightful reflection on, please be sure to share it with me!  

Enjoy this week’s episode!

A Trans Secret Agent Fights Crime

I honestly had such a FUN time on this week’s episode.  If there was a laughter barometer, we would have broke it!

I sat down with the filmmakers Shaan Dasani and Mikki del Monico to talk about their new project Agent of Change.

Agent of Change is about a secret agent who is on a mission to save the future of food, and as a transgender man, save humanity: one gender stereotype at a time!

Plus we took a deep dive into: 

  • Masculinity
  • Transgender representation in the media
  • Courage
  • Living your truth 

Shaan and Mikki have a crowd funding campaign going to support their film.  It would mean the world to me, and them, if you took a moment to check it out here

Enjoy this weeks episode!
