In this episode of The Brown Box Podcast, we sit down with Sasja Sidek, a Malay Singaporean trans advocate and activist based in Australia.

Sasja opens up about her journey of:

• Growing up in Singapore and running away from home at sixteen

• Facing discrimination, wrongful arrests, and rejection from family

• Exploring identity through nightlife, drag, and sex work

• Gaining empowerment through adult modelling and self-expression

• Becoming a community organiser and creating safe spaces for queer people in Australia

This is an empowering story of identity, resilience, and activism - one that shows the fight to belong in the face of rejection and discrimination. From survival to advocacy, Sasja’s journey is a powerful reminder that trans voices matter.
