Today on the show we have someone truly passionate about using her voice with authenticity. Nerissa Trindade (a transformational speaker, author and speaking coach) shares her experience of being held back from sharing her true voice, as a migrant gay woman of colour. Her life today is a distant image of what it once was, by stepping out of the shadows and leaning into who she really was.

She talks to us today about ‘the day she came out’ as a gay woman, how her life has changed since she allowed herself to be free from the shackles of other people’s expectations and brilliant advice for others who may be going through the same thing – or have a loved one who they feel might be holding back from sharing their true selves.

Nerissa is committed to coaching and empowering people to share their stories, unlock their true potential and transform both personally and professionally. She believes in growing through — not going through — life, because anything is possible when you are able to be yourself, believe in yourself and back yourself.
