In this powerful and moving episode, we sit down with Vicky Laylor (she/her), a Black trans woman, as she shares her deeply personal journey of self-discovery, faith, and resilience.
Raised in a Christian household, Vicky opens up about the challenges of growing up in an environment where her true self didn’t feel visible or understood. She speaks candidly about coming to understand she was trans later in life, the emotional and social hurdles she faced, and the joy and liberation that came with embracing her identity.
This conversation, hosted by Fiona Moorcroft from SAYiT — a Sheffield-based LGBTQIA+ youth charity — explores themes of identity, religion, community, and the importance of living authentically.
💬 Expect thoughtful reflections, moments of humour, and an inspiring perspective on what it means to live as your full self — even when the journey takes time.
