What is it like to be a true ally for trans men of color? That is what this episode of Dem Bois Podcast is all about. Today I interview another board member, Beauty Wright, spiritual coach and chaplain, and we discuss her journey to leadership and her role on the board. Beauty emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion, sharing her personal experiences and the impact of her support on her family and community. She also highlights the significance of authenticity and unconditional love in allyship, and advocating for visibility and representation of marginalized groups.

I am a motivated Black woman, who is the CEO/Founder of Loving Your Crown LLC, and an Interfaith Chaplain at a local hospital. This has guided me with a life purpose of building up all persons by supporting them as they learn to love and embrace their crown which is inclusive to members of the POC Trans in my community. My educational background includes; AA in Sociology to understand the demographics in which I can better assess all persons who have been marginalized by their demographic locations. BA and MA in Communication Studies to be able to articulate in a relatable manner with everyone I come into contact with As I believe in meeting people where they are and not where you expect them to be. MDiv (Masters in Divinity) as spirituality is at the core of all things we encounter throughout life.

“I am a board member of Dem Bois Inc., because I support its mission and important presence for trans men of color. I am a firm believer in everyone living their life in an authentic way, so they can love their crown genuinely on the outside, ensuring it aligns with the crown in their heart - reminding them they are loved, heard and visible. Being a board member of Dem Bois organization gives me the outlet to do this meaningful work.”
