People use anything as an excuse to be transphobic. They don’t want Drag Queens reading to children, or trans folks using their preferred bathrooms, or whatever else is the topic of the moment. And it feels like we have to work harder to amplify our voices and our joy, but that is what this episode is all about! Today on Dem Bois Podcast, I sit down with Cuee, recording artist, activist, and influencer, who embodies black trans joy! We discuss his music career, his coming out story, his relationship with his mom, and more.

We talk:
How the name Cuee chose him - 5:13
His relationship with his mom - 16:42
Becoming aware of himself in the body he was in - 27:44
How Cuee was introduced to music - 42:28
The dream retreat that he is creating - 55:46
