Last year on Trans Day of Visibility my guest changed her name by deed poll to Meg. On that very same day she wrote one of the most truthful, emotional and articulate of posts on LinkedIn where she talked through her experiences of transitioning and how the sense of melancholy she had as a child disappeared the day she made the decision to pursue a binary transition (because there was a period where she identified herself as being non binary).

Meg discusses her views on white patriarchal capitalism, uncovering her internalised misogyny and finding coherence with her body. She works around social and environmental justice and actively helps to raise the voices (and the incomes) of her black trans siblings. 

Three radical UK black-led projects she cares about right now:

Colours Youth Network for young LGBTQ+ People of Colour:  https://uk.gofundme.com/f/colours-youth-network

Black Land and Spatial Justice: https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-land-justice

Free Black University: https://uk.gofundme.com/f/the-free-black-university

I’m on social if you’re interested…primarily on Insta and occasionally Twitter: @diversityofme

Meg is a leadership coach for values-driven people overwhelmed by uncertainty, complexity and mess. Best-selling author of Presentation Now, a WHSmith Business Book of the Month on rapid presentation planning, one of her superpowers is bringing clarity to multi-layered situations and uncovering easy strength in those around her.
