Welcome back to Wanna Be- the podcast takes you from where you are now to where you wanna be in 30 minutes or less.

I’m Imriel Morgan, Founder of Content is Queen a podcast agency and club for ambitious podcasters with phenomenal taste, high expectations and a desire to sound as good as I do now.

Thank you so much for taking the time to be here! Wanna Be’s focus is to help you take consistent action to build a successful life and career in the creative and entertainment industry.

In this episode, my three brilliant guests are going to help you:
Explore your anger
Accept your strengths and limitations
Understand why not everything is for you!

Let’s get into it!

I want to introduce you to Charlie Craggs who is the award-winning author of To My Trans Sisters. She’s a trans activist and founder of Nail Transphobia- an organisation that exists to educate people on trans issues and make new allies, while also delivering glamorous manicures. Vogue has even referred to her as the “voice of a community”.
Charlie is candid, honest and real about the role class and gender have played in shaping her identity today. The focus of this interview is to understand your strengths and accept your limitations. It’ll also help you feel far less alone if you’re struggling with depression and anxiety.

What can I say about Charlie right now. We had the best time recording but as you heard, life is not all rosy and that’s ok sometimes. You can support and follow Charlie’s work on Twitter and Instagram @Charlie_Craggs and keep an eye out for her BBC documentary called DIY Trans Teens.

Before we wrap up the show, here’s Tiffany Ford a cartoonist, illustrator and storyboard artist. Tiffany is a divine human her experience includes the Cartoon Network, Disney, and the New York Times. She has some unexpected advice to share with you today. Take it away Tiffany.
