Pride Life Presents...

In this exciting chat with the amazing Max Siegel (known by a select few as “Mr Dapper”), he explains who he is- a content creator, influencer, artist, speaker and educator. However he delves into what it feels like to not know yourself and what it was like to get to know his true authentic self. He throws light onto why it is important to keep putting in the work into progression for LGBTQI+ rights- with mainstream media still not being on our side, to keep on speaking up is essential and progression is not a given.He touches on the story of how he entered into the fashion industry by a meeting in Dalston Superstore via Both& apparel and explains why clothing specifically made for AFAB bodies is so needed. Max recognises that queer people often struggle to feel that they deserve nice things, in the same way other people might. Therefore learning this is all part of the process.Saski and Max discuss issues that trans people might face when travelling that other people might not know about. They discuss why people outside the trans community feel they can ask intruding questions, and when people actually should be asking more questions (between you and your intimate partner). Tune into this episode to learn more about what gender euphoria means, making space for “squeaky bum conversations” and get the skinny on his engagement!We’d love to congratulate Max and Lori on getting engaged and we wish them all the best!

Welcome to Pride Life Presents…Eva Echo! In this very special first episode of the series, Saski speaks to trans activist and inspiration, Eva Echo. Eva is a woman that has been on her own unique journey, moving from the spotlight as a successful musician and finding her own authentic self. Now, she is determined to make positive changes for the trans community and make lives better for the next generation of trans people by using her voice and being “too stubborn to let hate win”. In the episode, Eva talks about her own journey, before she came out, and now what it’s like being recognised in public and dealing with trolls. Eva and Saski discuss the lack of action by the government towards trans conversion therapy and the dangers for trans youths as a result. They also talk about the need for self-acceptance within the trans community and breaking free of the narrow standards of femininity. It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Eva Echo onto this first episode, and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did! TW: Mental Health, Suicide, Eating Disorders, Self-HarmDon’t forget to subscribe to Pride Life Presents… !Find Eva Echo on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.Connect with Pride Life onFacebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.Visit the Pride Life website.
