This week on Trans Crush, we sit down with Amanda, a brave and brilliant trans woman from Uganda, who shares her powerful and deeply honest story.

In this eye-opening episode, Amanda talks about what it’s really like to be LGBTQ+ in Uganda—the danger, the stigma, and the painful reality that simply existing as a trans woman can be a risk to your life. She shares her personal journey of surviving in a country where being trans is treated as a crime—and what it meant to leave that behind.

She shares the fear, the violence, the silence—and how she survived it.
Now living in the UK, Amanda opens up about the culture shock, the stigma she still faces, and what it means to exist as a Black trans woman in a white Western world.

We also talk about:
• Her experience in a trans beauty pageant
• How people treat Black vs. white trans women in the UK
• What people can do to better protect and support Black trans women

This is one of our rawest and most necessary conversations yet. Don’t miss it.

This week on Trans Crush we’re joined by Izzy Kershaw, a talented artist and music producer. She shares her coming out story, her music journey, and how she’s managing mental health after the Supreme Court ruling. Izzy opens up about how her ADHD influences her creative process, and the fear she’s faced using public restrooms. We also talk about why it’s so important to use our platforms wisely—and why she wants to raise her voice beyond just her music.

It’s personal, it’s real, and it’s inspiring.

This week I sat down with the one and only Alexis Blake, and wow… what an interview!
You might know her as the trans YouTuber whose video blew up online — but in this episode, Alexis opens up about so much more. We talk about her childhood, what her transition was really like, and how that one viral moment sparked her whole career.

She also shares something she’s NEVER talked about publicly before — and how she dealt with it.
We got into how she handles trolls, online hate, and what it actually feels like to grow up trans in front of the internet.
This is real, raw, funny, and full of those moments that remind you why trans joy matters so much. 💖
