Welcome back to In Service to Rainbows, where we explore the diverse and inspiring stories within the LGBTQ+ community. I’m your host, Brooklyn Vennell, and today we have a fascinating conversation with Josi, a trans woman who has lived through incredible transformations.
Josi came out not once, but twice—first as a gay male, long before her transition to the woman she is today. Her journey is one of resilience, as she navigated drug addiction, found herself within religion, and eventually broke free from those constraints to live her truth.
In this episode, we also dive into our shared experiences with surgeries, the effects of hormones, and the ways these aspects shape our lives. And finally, we talk about the world of drag performances and how they’re perceived today. Josi’s story is full of strength and self-discovery, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Let’s get started!
