Imagine the grit it takes to stand as the only out transgender person working at the Florida State Capitol.

In this episode, she opens up about the impact of politics on marginalized communities, the roles played by prominent figures like Governor DeSantis, and the challenges faced by the LGBTQIA+ community.
