Meet Melody & Roman Velaruz. 

In today’s episode, we dive into a love story that’s as beautiful as it is unexpected. What happens when a trans man and a queer girl cross paths in a world that too often tries to define love by rigid expectations? Through laughter, vulnerability, and a few unexpected twists & turns, their journey to finding each other is a testament to the power of authenticity and resilience. From the first spark of connection to the journey they faced navigating identity, self-discovery, and societal pressures, this is a story that will inspire anyone who has ever searched for a love that truly sees them.

In this heartfelt conversation, Melody, Roman and I explore how their relationship blossomed against the odds, the deep understanding they built together, and the joy of finding someone who embraces every part of who you are. Love, after all, isn’t about fitting into a mold—it’s about breaking barriers, rewriting narratives, and creating a future together. Get ready to be moved by these remarkable people and their incredible journey of love, acceptance, and the undeniable magic of finding the right person at the right time.
