As we close out 2024, our host Anna DeShawn takes us on a reflective journey through a year filled with triumphs, challenges, and moments that defined our community. This episode revisits an impactful interview with Nico Lang, author of American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era. Nico's work, highlighting the resilience and joy of trans youth, reminds us of the critical fight ahead: "None of us are free until all of us are free."

This final episode of the year, is a heartfelt reflection, a call to action, and a reminder that together, we can navigate the challenges of 2025.
