When Brennan Beckwith opened up about his journey as a non-binary and queer pioneer on YouTube, it wasn't just another story—it was a testament to the courage and resilience that has defined a decade in the limelight of digital media.
Shane Ivan Nash and Blossom C. Brown's conversation with Brennan is a profound exploration of identity, the power of representation, and the battles fought both publicly and internally. From the backlash during their early years of transition to a pivotal appearance on MTV's True Life, Brennan's narrative isn't just his own but a reflection of a community's evolution.
Strap in for a raw discussion on the challenges non-binary and trans creators face, especially when pitted against the harshness of online hate and the divisive ideology of transmedicalism.
Brennan shares invaluable advice for content creators, urging them to focus on impact over analytics. We also unravel the complexities of growing through adversity, the navigation of toxic environments, and the importance of public healing. Brennan's experiences highlight the journey toward acceptance, the discovery of supportive communities, and the importance of unity and collective resilience in the face of societal transphobia.

As we smeared our first awkward streak of eyeliner across our eyelid, we felt a surge of empowerment and trepidation.
The transformative magic of makeup was my initial guidepost on a journey of self-discovery, an experience shared by many in the transgender community. In today's mashup episode, we welcome the incredible Gina Ortiz, a makeup artist whose brushes paint stories of identity for her transgender clients. Together, we discuss the tender art of makeup application, the safe havens she creates within her studio walls, and the pivotal role these spaces play in the lives of her clients. Gina's journey inspires as she describes starting with drag queens at 14, and now, empowering individuals through her craft.
We also have Paula Grippi, the owner of Advanced Electrolysis & Permanent Makeup, talk to us about one of the most important steps of transitioning, electrolysis.
Paula believes that playing up one’s natural beauty can help enhance their life. With 15 years in the beauty industry, Paula has the skills to help you achieve your beauty goals.
