​Bianca Sprague, Executive Director of Trans Pride DC, shares her incredible journey from hiding her true identity to becoming a powerful advocate for transgender rights. In this episode, Bianca discusses the importance of creating spaces where all identities are celebrated and how her intersectional experiences as a trans woman, Filipina, and immigrant shape her leadership. Bianca describes feeling almost embarrassed to share her mostly positive story, as it seemed to differ from the common narratives of struggle and hardship even though she too faced adversity that honed her leadership skills. Her message of hope and authenticity will resonate with anyone working toward inclusion and equality.
