"For so many years I was afraid to be myself because I was always judged as a kid; now that I'm just myself and I live my life and put myself and my happiness first;  and that's what pride is all about—being proud of who you are."

Royce Fielder (now 26) came out as  transgender FTM (Female To Male) in 2011 at 16 years old while living in a group home. He knew that he was a male since the age of 6; and since then, he's been down a long road of self-discovery with his mental and physical health.

His experiences have shown him a whole different perspective on himself, the world and the people in it that he wouldn't of seen had he not decided to speak and live his truth.

In this podcast we discuss Royce's journey to coming out as trans and he shares some insight on how you can support yourself or a loved one on a similar journey.
