Creating a Blueprint for Love with Tiq Milan
Something we always say on Dem Bois Podcast is that visibility = possibility, and in this episode, I get to speak with someone whose visibility showed my possibility and gave me the permission to show up as my authentic self, Tiq Milan. Tiq is a trans rights advocate, speaker, father, teacher, and leadership development strategist, and I am very excited to share this episode. We discuss the challenges of fatherhood, emphasizing the need for legal protections and the impact of his daughter's mother on their relationship. And, Tiq gives us advice on self-love and the power of chosen family.
We talk:
How Tiq’s family support affected him - 10:55
Trying to find other Black trans men online - 20:58
Tiq’s spirituality - 28:40
The Moth - 40:49
His experience with fatherhood - 48:58
