Welcome back to the Epics Podcast. I started this podcast because I believe that the foundation of hate and discrimination in our world comes from a lack of understanding of those who are different from ourselves. We plan to combat that by hearing everyone's stories, that we can better understand them, be a part of creating real positive change.
This week, on the 13th episode of Epics, I’m so pleased to announce my guest Dr. Elijah Nicholas.
A twelve-time published author, Dr. Elijah Nicholas is also an Actor, and Advocate. He was assigned the female sex at birth, so Elijah spent almost half of his life in the US Military, as a woman before retiring from the US Air Force as a Lt Col in 2012.
He started his gender reassignment from female to male in 2018 at the age of 48.
We were able to cover a variety of topics in our interview such as his experiences of racism, navigating gender roles both pre and post transition, and his new book “Madoodle”!
Madoodle is an LGBTQI+ friendly family & children's book featuring Madoodle (aka Madison), a ten-year-old girl whose Uncle Pete was once her favorite Auntie Mary. And it is based on Dr. Elijah's personal experiences with family as he navigated his gender transition.
Buy Elijah’s book Madoodle! The link on this episode. As always that will not only support Elijah but a local bookstore near you AND this podcast!
