  • Meet Denise Denise! (they/them/theirs)

    Join Denise! Denise! (they/she) and Alex (they/them) in this discussion about grief, an experience most humans can relate. They share what it's like to be transgender and grieve, grieve and be transgender...and everything in between.


    Denise! Denise! (they/she) is a Black non-binary femme transformation coach who supports non-binary, trans, and intersex folx along their gender journeys. After nearly a decade as a sociology professor at a white supremacist, cissexist liberal arts college in the South, Denise founded their own coaching and consulting business, joy+justice (http://joyplusjustice.com). Their collection of essays by BIPOC scholars, Conditionally Accepted: Navigating Higher Education from the Margins, will be released in April 2024. They’ve begun working on another anthology, tentatively called The 42 Percent Project, to capture the voices of trans and non-binary folks who have been affected by suicide and suicidality.
