Happy Pride! “One Is Not Born, But Rather Becomes A Woman”

Strong Women Co

Happy Pride! One is not born, but rather becomes a woman. “One is not born, but rather becomes a woman” is a quote by Simone de Beauvoir in her 1949 book, in which she discusses the treatment of women throughout history. This quote is a great reminder that becoming a woman is a process for us all, including our trans sisters. In this episode I talk with Rhea Rollmann, the award-winning journalist, writer and radio producer/podcaster based in Newfoundland, Canada. Rhea is a brilliant and thoughtful woman who shares part of her story of transition, “coming out” and the beauty of rediscovering oneself. We talk about gender identity, normalizing the inevitability of individual transformation and the freedom of being who you truly are. We also speak about the importance of Pride and how we can prioritize “joy” in our lives (and our social activism). To Rhea: A special thank you to you for sharing your experiences and wisdom with us. And as my station Program Manager, without you, the Strong Women Power (half) Hour would NOT be where it is today. Mad love!
