What does it mean to create change right where you are? In this episode of How to Change the World, host Catherine Alonzo sits down with Trystan Reese, author, storyteller, and longtime advocate for trans inclusion, to explore the power of influence in our everyday lives. Trystan shares his personal journey, from going viral as a trans parent to building a career in diversity, equity, and inclusion. With nearly two decades in the trans community, Trystan offers insights on how each of us can use our unique sphere of influence to foster a more just and inclusive world.
