In this week’s episode, I sit down with Giada, an activist for the LGBTQ+ community.
Giada lives in Florence, Italy, and tells us their story of coming out as non-binary. They also take us down the path to self-discovery and how they learned about their identity in a world that doesn’t quite seem to fit.
Listen in as we talk about:
- When Giada started questioning their identity
- The moment Giada realized their identity and orientation
- How Giada overcame the bullying they faced in school
- Why Giada stopped therapy and how they began cutting
- How Giada is challenging the conversation with
their advocacy work on their own and being a part of an LGBTQ+
group
