I want this platform to be a space where trans men of color can tell our stories and be heard. Where we can uplift and help one another. So in this first guest episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I sit down with Samir King, a past recipient of the Dem Bois Inc. Gender Affirming Surgery Grant. Samir opens up about his transition, being incarcerated for 10 years, the nonprofit organization he’s working on, and so much more.

Samir’s nonprofit organization Protection Royal Youth - 15:50

Read Samir’s bio below for more info:
Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Samir Malcom King. I was born and raised in Brunswick Georgia and I'm the baby of 4 siblings. I'm also a twin of two minutes and I have a son that's 17 years old and just recently got married. I'm currently in my third year of transitioning. This journey that I'm in has made me realize how much my life has value in this 🌎. I've done 10 years in prison and came out a beast. I have 3 small owned businesses so with that being said I hope my smile and my story help you be the best you. LOVE YOU LIKE NO OTHER WILL… FROM MR. KING.
