How the heck is it March already?? We are asking ourselves the same question...it has been a busy week but we managed to squeeze in a quick chat with the lovely Maddy, a Brisbane based employment lawyer. Maddy takes us through her experiences as a young lawyer, navigating the workplace after graduation and getting involved. Maddy came out as trans in 2019 and gives us such an eloquent insight into being a trans woman while also being a working professional. Her story is inspiring and we walked away feeling both invigorated and educated. We cannot wait for you to listen!
Thank you to Maddy for her time, openness and wisdom.
